Capo: 1
Tuning: E A D G B E
Ed Sheeran - Wake Me Up
Standard tuning - Capo 1st fret
Half-step down tuning (originally played like that) - Capo 2nd fret
With the capo, I recommend to use whatever fits your voice the best,
I personally prefer playing this song in standard tuning with no capo.
No strumming ! Just fingerpicking. Only one „pick“ at a time.
G - [3 x x 0 3 3]
C - [x 3 x 0 1 0]
Dadd9(add4) /later marked as D9 only, although it’s not a D9/ - [x 5 x 0 3 0]
Intro: G C D9 C
Note: In this first verse, after every C chord I play I like to play an open B
string then hammer on the first fret and then pull off.
Something like this: e|-----------|
B|---0h1p0---|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
I should Gink my skin with your nCame
And Gtake my passport out again and just replCace it
See I could Gdo without a tan on my left hand
where my fourth finger meets my Cknuckle
And I should Grun you a hot bath, fill it up with Cbubbles
Cause maybe Cyou're loveable, and D9maybe you're my snowflake
and your Geyes turn from green to grey
in the winter I'llC hold you in a cold place
And Cyou should never cut your hair
cause I D9love the way you Gflick it off your Cshoulder (mmmm)
And Cyou will never know, just how D9beautiful you are to me G C
but Cmaybe I'm just in love when you D9wake me Gup
GAnd would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?
CCould you make me a cup of tea tD9o open my eyes in the right way?
GAnd I know you love shrek, 'cause we've watched it twelve times
CBut maybe you're hoping for a fD9airy tale too
And if your GDVD breaks today, you should've got a VCR
CBecause I've never owned a Blu-ray, D9true say
And I've Galways been shit at computer games, and your brother always beats me
And if I Clost, i'd go across and chuck all the conD9trollers at the tv, and
then you'd laugh at Gme, and be asking me, if I'm going to be home next week
and then you'd lie with Cme, until I fall asleep
and flutter an eyeD9lash on my cheek, between the sheets
CAnd you will never know, just how D9beautiful you are to me G C
but Cmaybe I'm just in love when you D9wake me Gup
GAnd I think you hate the smell of smoke, you always try get me to stop
CYou drink as much as me, anD9d I get drunk alot
So I Gtake you to the beach, and Gwalk along the sand
And I'll Cmake you a heart pendant, with a D9pebble held in my hand
And I'll Gcarve it like a necklace, so the heart falls where your chest is
And now a Cpiece of me, is a piece of the beach, and it D9falls just where it
needs to be, and rests Gpeacefully, you just need to breathe
to feel my heart against Cyours now, against D9yours now
'Cause Cmaybe I'm just in love when you D9wake me Emup G
Or Cmaybe I'm just in love when you D9wake me Emup G
CMaybe I fell in love when you wD9oke me uGp
