Edward Christopher Sheeran (n. 17 de febrero de 1991 en Halifax, Reino Unido), mejor conocido por su nombre artístico Ed Sheeran, es un cantautor y guitarrista británico. Sus composiciones tocan principalmente los géneros y estilos pop rock, folk, hip hop, acústico e indie. No fue hasta 2005 que comenzó a enfocarse seriamente en su carrera. Tras grabar y lanzar alrededor de seis EP como artista independiente, el actor Jamie Foxx lo invitó a aparecer en su programa de radio en Los Ángeles, California.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
I've realised that the version that Ed Sheeran sings (Jamie Woon's arrangement) can pretty much be played using just two chords. There was another version that uses 4 chords of F, Ab, F, C, Bb, Ab, F, on a capo 2 as following the background oh oh's, but I think using two chords fits just fine.

EmEm I am a poor wayfaring stranger AEm Traveling through, this world alone EmEm There's no sickness, toil nor danger AEm In that bright land, to which I go EmEm I'm going there to see my mother AEm I'm going there no more to roam EmEm I'm only going over Jordan AEm I'm only going over home now
(Beatbox Instrumental- Em, A, Em, A)
EmEm I know dark clouds will gather o'er me AEm I know my way is rough and steep EmEm And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me AEm I know my way is rough and steep EmEm I'm going there to see my mother AEm I'm going there no more to roam EmEm I'm just going over Jordan AEm I'm just going over home
A capella (No backing noise)
EmEm Cause I'm a poor wayfaring stranger AEm Traveling through, this world alone EmEm There's no sickness, toil or danger AEm In that bright land, to which I go EmEm I'm going there to see my mother AEm I'm going there no more to roam EmEm I'm only going over Jordan AEm I'm only going o'er home now
To me it sounds pretty cowboyish, and you can be inventive with your Em's and A's and add hammer ons or pulloffs to/from open string and such and take down the rhythm carefully as it's a little odd. Maybe listening to Sheryl Crow's Redemption Day may help you get into the swing of things.
