Sunburn - Ed Sheeran
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Josh Richardson
Tuning: E Standard EADGBe (no capo)
This is the first song that I've tabbed, so please be nice in the comments!
It sounds better if you use the chord variations mentioned at the bottom of the page
______________________________
[G]You're not her
Though I try to see you [C]differently[D]
[G]I toe the line
See I'm searching for what [C]used to be, mi[D]ne ooohhhh
[G]I Saw your eyes
Then I saw her staring [C]back at me[D]
[G]And I will try
[G]To find another one who's [C]suited to me
As [D]well as her
[C]I've moved, [D]far away [Em]from you
[G]And I want to
[C]See you [D]here beside me [Em]dear
but things aren't [G]clear
[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C]
[G]She was mine
I was hers
And all that's [C]in between[D]
[G]if she would cry
I would shelter her
And [C]keep her from the darkness [D]that will be
[C]If I moved, [D]far away [Em]from you
[G]And I want to
[C]See you [D]here beside me [Em]dear
but things aren't [G]clear
[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C][D]
[G]Don't trap me in, it's not my time
[C]If you cut me deep then I might lie
And if you
[Em]Scar and le[D]ave me, like a [G]sunburn[C]
[G]Don't trap me in, it's not my time
[C]if you cut deep then I might lie
[Em]And you
Scarred and [D]left me, like a sunburn[C]
[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C]

Although the chords above are correct, use these variations in order to match
Ed's sound better:
For G chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|9-------|
A|10------|
E|x-------|
For C chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|2-------|
A|3-------|
E|x-------|
You can also use this slight variation as a C chord:
- Note: This works best if you're playing the other chords as regular chords.
For D chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|4-------|
A|5-------|
E|x-------|
You can also use this slight variation as a D chord:
- Note: This works best if you're playing the other chords as regular chords.
e|0-------|
B|1-------|
G|0-------|
D|4-------|
A|5-------|
E|x-------|
For Em chords use this:
e|0-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|5-------|
A|7-------|
E|0-------|
______________________________
^^^ These chords sound best if you play the root note and the one above it at the
same time, as this is what I think Ed does.
For example, if you wanted to play a G chord, on the first strum of the chord be
sure to emphasise these two notes:
e|--------|
B|--------|
G|--------|
D|9-------|
A|10------|
E|--------|
Hope that helped you learn a quality song! :)
