Текст песни Ed Sheeran — The Joker And The Queen Acoustic + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
Attempt to capture chords and shapes for the way Ed played this for an Instagram live on October 31, 2021:
As with many of his songs, Ed plays this in different keys. For the Instagram live performance linked above,
he used the shapes I have indicated below. To play these chord shapes along with his original album track,
you would need to transpose -1 (move each shape down 1 fret).
He arpeggiates the chords in this acoustic version. The chord maps below only indicate the strings I think
I am hearing him pick at various points in the song.
Note that there are a few slight differences between the lyrics he sang in this live version and the
official track.
