How to play Photograph by Ed Sheeran on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play D, Bm, A, G, Am, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: E, C#m, A and B. It also catches Bm in passing, and you can leave those out at first. C#m and B are barre chords. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is A to E, 12 times in the chart, so practise that one first. It runs at about 108 beats a minute.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
