These are the chords to my cover of 'Afire Love' by Ed Sheeran
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGzOQpmxBy8)
These chords are ideal for female singers, as I have changed the key to suit a higher vocal range :-)
*Please note that some of the lyrics are different because I sang the song from a female perspective*
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Em
Things were all good yesterday
G
But then the devil took your memory
C
And if you fell to your death today
Em
I hope that heaven is your resting place
G
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that could've been the medicine
C
And now you're lying in the bed again
D
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
And my father told me girl
C D
It's not your fault he doesn't know your face
C Em
And your not the only one
C
Although my grandma used to say
D
That he used to sing
[Chorus]
Em C Am
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
D Em
And we'll lie inside, a little while with you more
C Am
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
D Em
And we're wrapped in light, in life and love
C Am
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
D
For they're designed, to be together oh
Em C Am
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
D Em
And we're set alight, we're afire love
[Fill]
Em , C , Am , D
We're afire love, we're afire love
[Verse 2]
Em
Things were all good yesterday
G
But then the devil took your breath away
C
And now we're left here in pain
Black suit black tie standing in the rain
Em G
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with a stranger and a friend
C
Look to my mind I should paint it with a pen
D
Six years old, I remember when
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
And my father told me girl
C D
It's not your fault he doesn't know your face
C Em
And your not the only one
C
Although my grandma used to say
D
That he used to sing
[Chorus]
Em C Am
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
D Em
And we'll lie inside, a little while with you more
C Am
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
D Em
And we're wrapped in light, in life and love
C Am
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
D
For they're designed, to be together oh
Em C Am
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
D Em
And we're set alight, we're afire love
[Fill]
Em , C , Am , D
We're afire love, we're afire love
[Bridge]
Em C
And my father, and all of my family
Am D
Rise from their seats to sing, hallelujah
Em C
And my mother, and all of my family
Am D
Rise from their seats to sing, hallelujah
Em C
And my brother, and all of my family
Am D
Rise from their seats to sing, hallelujah
Em C
And my father, and all of my family
Am D
Rise from their seats to sing, hallelujah
[Outro]
Em , C , Am , D
We're afire love, we're afire love
