WAYFARING STRANGER - Ed Sheeran

Tabbed by: Ndermawan

Email: ndermawan@yahoo.com

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Capo on 1st fret

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----|

oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through, this world alone

There's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright land, to which I go

I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home now

(Beatbox Instrumental- Em, A, Em, A)

I know dark clouds will gather o'er me

I know my way is rough and steep

And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me

I know my way is rough and steep

I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

A capella (No backing noise)

Cause I'm a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through, this world alone

There's no sickness, toil or danger

In that bright land, to which I go

I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

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!
