I've realised that the version that Ed Sheeran sings (Jamie Woon's arrangement) can
pretty much be played using just two chords. There was another version that uses 4
chords of
F, Ab, F, C, Bb, Ab, F, on a capo 2 as following the background oh oh's, but I think
using two chords fits just fine.
Em |--0----| |--0----| |--0----| |--2----| |--2----| |--0----| A |--0----| |--2----| |--2----| |--2----| |--0----| |--0----| Em oh oh oh A Em oh oh oh oh Em Em I am a poor wayfaring stranger A Em Traveling through, this world alone Em Em There's no sickness, toil nor danger A Em In that bright land, to which I go Em Em I'm going there to see my mother A Em I'm going there no more to roam Em Em I'm only going over Jordan A Em I'm only going over home now
(Beatbox Instrumental- Em, A, Em, A)
Em Em I know dark clouds will gather o'er me A Em I know my way is rough and steep Em Em And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me A Em I know my way is rough and steep Em Em I'm going there to see my mother A Em I'm going there no more to roam Em Em I'm just going over Jordan A Em I'm just going over home
A capella (No backing noise)
Em Em Cause I'm a poor wayfaring stranger A Em Traveling through, this world alone Em Em There's no sickness, toil or danger A Em In that bright land, to which I go Em Em I'm going there to see my mother A Em I'm going there no more to roam Em Em I'm only going over Jordan A Em I'm only going o'er home now
To me it sounds pretty cowboyish, and you can be inventive with your Em's and A's and
add hammer ons or pulloffs to/from open string and such and take down the rhythm carefully
as it's a little odd. Maybe listening to Sheryl Crow's Redemption Day may help you get
into the swing of things.
Enjoy!
