Edward Christopher Sheeran, (17 de fevereiro de 1991, Halifax, Inglaterra) mais conhecido como Ed Sheeran, é um cantor e compositor inglês.
Ed aprendeu a tocar guitarra ainda muito jovem e começou a escrever músicas durante seu tempo na Escola Thomas Mills, em Framlingham. Suas memórias da infância incluíam ouvir Van Morrison em suas viagens incontáveis com seus pais para Londres e ir a um show intimista com Damien Rice na Irlanda quando tinha 11 anos.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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.
