Capo: 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Of The Stars - Ed Sheeran
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've watched a few live versions and this is how he actually plays it.
As seen in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhxiFy0A_3Q
Capo on the 2nd fret, the whole song is based on a C#9 barre chord, the chords are:
| F# | C# | A# | G# |
E| 0 | x | 4 | 2 |
A| x | 2 | x | x |
D| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
G| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
B| x | x | x | x |
E| x | x | x | x |
My interpretation of the picking pattern:
He starts every beat by picking the bass note of the chord twice then it goes like this:
C E-----------------
A B-----------------
P G--------4-----4--
O D----------4------
A-----------------
2 E---0-0------0----
He also plays it like this:
C E-----------------
A B-----------------
P G--------4-----4--
O D-----4----4------
A-----------------
2 E---0-------0-----
The chord used for the example was the F#, it goes the same for every other chord in the song.
There's also a little riff/run every second line of the verse (and I'm staring at the moon etc)
C E-------------------------
A B-------------------------
P G-------4------4-------4--
O D-------------------------
A-------------------------
2 E---4-4----2-2----0-0-----
After that it goes back to the normal picking pattern.

F#It's just another nighC#t
and I'm sA#mtaringG# at theF# moon
C#I saw a shooting star and thought of youG#
F#I sang a lullabyC#
By the waA#mtersG#ide F#and knew C#
if you were here I'd G#sing to you
F#You're on the other sidC#e
as the A#mskylG#ine spliF#ts in two C#
miles away from sG#eeing you
F#But I can see the starC#s
froA#mm AmeG#ricF#a
I C#wondered do you see G#them too
So open your eC#yes and see
the way our hoG#rizons meet
and all of the liA#mghts will lead
into the F#night with me
And I know these sC#cars will bleed
But both of our heG#arts believe
All of these staA#mrs wilF#l dieC# as oneG#
F#I can hear your heart C#
on theA#m radG#io F#
They'C#re playing chasing cars and G#I thought of us
F#Back to the timeC#
you wereA#m lyinG#g neF#xt to me C#
I looked across and G#fell in love
F#You saw I took your haC#nd
Back through lA#mamp G#lit streetF#s and knewC#
Everything led bacG#k to you
F#So can you see the stC#ars
Over A#mAmsteG#rdaF#m C#
you're the song my G#heart is beating too
So open your eC#yes and see
the way our hoG#rizons meet
and all of the liA#mghts will lead
into the F#night with me
And I know these sC#cars will bleed
But both of our heG#arts believe
All of these staA#mrs wilF#l dieC# as oneG#
And aC#ll you A#mknow C#
F#and alG#l C#
BuF#t I can see the stC#ars
