----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Of The Stars - Ed Sheeran ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've watched a few live versions and this is how he actually plays it. As seen in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhxiFy0A_3Q Capo on the 2nd fret, the whole song is based on a C#9 barre chord, the chords are: | F# | C# | A# | G# | E| 0 | x | 4 | 2 | A| x | 2 | x | x | D| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | G| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | B| x | x | x | x | E| x | x | x | x | My interpretation of the picking pattern: He starts every beat by picking the bass note of the chord twice then it goes like this: C E----------------- A B----------------- P G--------4-----4-- O D----------4------ A----------------- 2 E---0-0------0---- He also plays it like this: C E----------------- A B----------------- P G--------4-----4-- O D-----4----4------ A----------------- 2 E---0-------0----- The chord used for the example was the F#, it goes the same for every other chord in the song. There's also a little riff/run every second line of the verse (and I'm staring at the moon etc) C E------------------------- A B------------------------- P G-------4------4-------4-- O D------------------------- A------------------------- 2 E---4-4----2-2----0-0----- After that it goes back to the normal picking pattern. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics copied from max.wynne's version of this tab ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- F# C# It's just another night A#m G# F# and I'm staring at the moon C# G# I saw a shooting star and thought of you F# C# I sang a lullaby A#m G# F# C# By the waterside and knew G# if you were here I'd sing to you F# C# You're on the other side A#m G# F# C# as the skyline splits in two G# miles away from seeing you F# C# But I can see the stars A#m G# F# from America C# G# I wondered do you see them too C# So open your eyes and see G# the way our horizons meet A#m and all of the lights will lead F# into the night with me C# And I know these scars will bleed G# But both of our hearts believe A#m F# C# G# All of these stars will die as one F# C# I can hear your heart A#m G# F# on the radio C# G# They're playing chasing cars and I thought of us F# C# Back to the time A#m G# F# C# you were lying next to me G# I looked across and fell in love F# C# You saw I took your hand A#m G# F# C# Back through lamp lit streets and knew G# Everything led back to you F# C# So can you see the stars A#m G# F# C# Over Amsterdam G# you're the song my heart is beating too C# So open your eyes and see G# the way our horizons meet A#m and all of the lights will lead F# into the night with me C# And I know these scars will bleed G# But both of our hearts believe A#m F# C# G# All of these stars will die as one C# A#m C# And all you know F# G# C# and all F# C# But I can see the stars A#m G# F# from America
