Firefly - Ed Sheeran
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Josh Richardson
Tuning: E Standard EADGBe (no capo)
This song is all done with finger-picking, so put your plectrum down!
It's easier without one too, and it sounds fuller.

Hold me tight...
Feeling like...
(Let ring)
Okay, that "Let ring" ended up in the wrong place, but you get what I meant :P
Wicked tab, spot on as far as i can see its just to do with the pauses which is not something thats tabbed to often, just listen to it.
Id find it a lot more helpful if you had all the lyrics along with it all though. Great job though.
