Chord gitar lagu / Kunci gitar lagu Ed sheeran – The a team – version 1 – ( 6 )
A Team by Ed Sheeran
Notes:
(1) the original key for this song is A, so you can either play the chords
with a capo on the 2nd fret, which allows for nice open chords in G, C, Em, Am and
D positions, or play in the key of A directly
(2) to make it easy for you, I wrote the song twice, once in the key of A and
once in the key of G, assuming a capo on the second fret; but you can just play it
in G without a capo too and it may suit your voice better
(3) the arrangement uses passing chords which I put in parenthesis such as (E/
G#) or (D/F#); these are as they sound, used in passing and are not absolutely
necessary, as you will find if you play along with the song
(4) this song is a little tricky to notate matching the lyrics, chords and
rhythm, so it is pretty important to listen along to get the timing right
Key of A:
A (E/G#)
White lips, pale face, breathing in
F#m (E/G#)
snowflakes, burnt lungs, sour
A
taste…
A (E/G#)
Light’s gone, day’s end, struggling to
F#m (E/G#)
pay rent, long nights, strange
A
men…
Bm D
And they say she’s in the Class A Team,
A
Stuck in her daydream,
E
Been this way since 18, but lately,
Bm D
Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting,
A
Crumbling like pastries, And they scream,
E
The worst things in life come free to us,
F#m D
Cos we’re just under the upperhand,
A
And go mad for a couple of grams,
F#m D
And she don’t want to go
A
outside tonight,
F#m D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
A
Or sells love to another man,
F#m D
It’s too cold outside,
A (E/G#)
..For angels to
F#m D
fly,
A (E/G#)
… Angels to
F#m D
fly,
A (E/G#)
…
A (E/G#)
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and
F#m (E/G#)
stay afloat, dry house, wet
A (E/G#)
clothes…
A (E/G#)
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry
F#m (E/G#)
throat, call girl, no
A (E/G#)
phone…
Bm D

F#m D
It’s too cold outside,
A
..For angels to
Bm D
fly, an angel will die.
F#m…
Covered in white, closed eye, and
A
hoping for a better life,
Bm D
This time, we’ll fade out tonight,
Straight down the
Instrumental break:
F#m D
Line…
A (E/G#)
