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 son
[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 son
[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
