This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song—the modern definitive wedding first-dance—laid out in a continuous sequence to ensure you master the gentle, syncopated groove from the iconic opening riff to the final, tender "I’m thinking out loud." It features the complete, soulful vocal melody, the timeless lyrics of lasting love, and the sophisticated "blue-eyed soul" chord changes that define its Grammy-winning sound, allowing you to capture the song's signature transition from a sweet confession to a worldwide romantic anthem. This is the definitive resource for musicians looking to master the technical "pocket" and heartfelt sincerity of Ed Sheeran’s most enduring ballad.

What is a “performance lead sheet”? A performance lead sheet streamlines chords, melody, and lyrics into a single continuous layout for tablets, eliminating repeats, D.S.’s, and codas so performers can simply page forward through the entire song. Each section—verse, chorus, bridge, and so on—is clearly labeled with rehearsal markers for quick navigation. The only repeats are self-contained vamps, kept on a single page to avoid page-turning backward. The goal is to make performing easier by presenting the song in its complete, best-known form so musicians can focus on playing rather than remembering forms or tricky sections. I originally created these for my own cover band, and they’ve made last-minute additions far more manageable. I hope they help you, too.
