• Song:

    The Man

  • Artist:

    Ed Sheeran

The Man:
Capo 2

Electric Guitar Part:
(For ease I've tabbed this whole song relative to the capo.)
This electric guitar part is repeated until the chorus.
e|---------|
b|---------|
g|---------|
d|-4/5-0-2-|
a|---------|
e|-3/5-0-1-|

Chords he uses for the Chorus:
(Played on an Acoustic guitar in the same rhythm as the electric guitar part, with palm muted strums on the
Am and F chords)

  Em7 Am G6 F
e|-x--x--x--1-|
b|-0--1--x--1-|
g|-0--2--0--2-|
d|-0--2--0--3-|
a|-2--0--2--3-|
e|-x--x--3--x-|

This is the lick that Ed plays during the chorus:

e|-----------------|
b|-----------------|
g|-----------------|
d|-------5---------|
a|-3h5/7---7p5\3---|
e|---------------5-|

Acoustic guitar solo:
(Really pluck those Hammer-ons and Pull-offs; it's a solo that gradually gets quieter as the song draws to
a close, so listen carefully.)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------3---3---3-3p0----->
b|----------------------------------6h8---6\5----------------------3/5---5---5-------3--->

Can't really hear enough after that, so just let the 7 ring. Tried as hard as I could with this, and
I think it sounds pretty accurate, comment if you have any questions.
