Ed Sheeran – Tenerife Sea chords ver. 3
Chords:
This is how Ed played it at Madison Square, and I believe these are the right lyrics. Here's the video of him singing it that I used: http://youtu.be/-_Hqn2uJALk?t=1m1s ------------------------------------------------------------------ Almost Standard Tuning: (Low to High with no capo)E-A-D-E-B-E (Just tune the G down to an E)Capo 4 Chords: (from capo, Low to High) E - 022000 F#m - 244000 A - x02000 B - x24000 C#m - x46000 On the A chord, he hammers the B string (2nd from highest), second fret - x02020 Technique stuff: The F#m chord may sound a bit off, but it's the bass note that you should listen for. Also, think of this song as 4 beats per line, but then subdivide every beat into 6 mini beats. That's how he plucks. For example, say "Cheerio Cheerio" for each beat. (For those who read music, it's in 4/4 time, but think of individual beats in 6/8, or as 2 triplets) He likes to hit the bass note on the first beat of every chord, the G string on the 2nd triplet (or the Chee of the second Cheerio), then the B string on the "a" of the 2nd triplet (1+a2+a) (or the "O" of the second Cheerio). ------------------------------------------------------------------E F#m A You look so wonderful in your dressE F#m A I love your hair like thatE F#m A The way it falls on the side of your neckC#m B A Down your shoulders and backE F#m A We are surrounded by all of these liesE F#m A And people who talk too muchE F#m A You've got the kind of look in your eyesC#m B AAs if no one knows anything but usA E BAnd should this be the last thing I seeA E BI want you to know it's enough for meA E BCause all that you are is all that I'll ever needE F#m AI'm so in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m A You look so beautiful in this lightE F#m A Your silhouette over meE F#m A The way it brings out the blue in your eyesC#m B Ais the Tenerife SeaE F#m AAnd all of the voices surrounding us hereE F#m AThey just fade out when you take a breathE F#m AJust say the word and now we'll disappearC#m B Aoh, into the wildernessA E BAnd should this be the last thing I seeA E BI want you to know it's enough for meA E BCause all that you are is all that I'll ever needE F#m AI'm so in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveC#m A B ELumière darlingC#m A BLumière over me(He loops this 6 times) (I sing it 2 times normal, 2 with the first harmony he uses)A E BAnd should this be the last thing I seeA E BI want you to know it's enough for meA E BCause all that you are is all that I'll ever needE F#m AI'm so in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m ASo in loveE F#m A You look so wonderful in your dressE F#m A I loved your hair like thatE F#m A* And in the moment I knew you back*(on the last chord just play the bass string)
