Ed Sheeran - Guitar Chords for "A Team" and "Lego House"

Ed Sheeran is a rising star in the 'singer-songwriter' genre, one of the few areas I can draw on for good guitar-based music these days.

I first heard of Ed Sheeran when I heard him perform "A Team" on "Later with Jools Holland", about 8 or 9 months ago, and it was obvious that this was a new talent about to burst upon the mainstream. Sure enough, Ed released his debut album '+' in September last year, with 'A Team' as the lead single hitting the UK charts at number 3.

This was closely followed by the second single "You Need Me", which entered the charts at #4 - this one was a total change of pace, with Ed having fun with a catchy little rap number, unfortunately not one I would attempt to work out guitar chords for!

The lovely, whimsical "Lego House", 3rd single from the album reached number 5 in the UK charts, and with the album + reaching number one in the Album charts, a new star was born.

I will make a point of getting hold of the new single "Drunk" and having a close listen, and hopefully working out the chords. In the meantime, I have worked out easy chords and lyrics versions of both "A Team" and "Lego House".

You can find my chords and lyrics interpretations at the links below ( both songs are on my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page ) :

"A Team" - Well written and well structured. Its kinda like something that we've heard but definitely fresh!
