These are the chords for the Ed Sheeran cover of Take Me To Church.
The original song is written by Hozier.
Before the chorus begins and after the final G in the chorus the piano plays an easy tab,
Which you can play like this on the guitar:
A|-5-4--4-2-|
E|-3-2--2-0-|
Instead of this tab you can also play the chords G F#m Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em Am G
My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral
Am Em Am Em
Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner
Am Em Am G
If the Heavens ever did speak, she’s the last true mouthpiece
Am Em Am D
Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week
C
We were born sick, you heard them say it
Em Am Em Am G
My church offers no absolutes, she tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
Am Em Am D
The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you
C C
I was born sick, but I love it, Command me to be well
G C G Cm G Cm G
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em Am G
If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight
Am Em Am D
To keep the Goddess on my side she demands a sacrifice
C
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny
Em Am Em Am G
Something meaty for the main course, that's a fine looking high horse
Am Em Am D
What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful
C C
That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work
[Chorus]
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C G B7 Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C G B7 Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C G B7 Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C G B7 Em D C
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
[Chorus]
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em B7
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am Em G Em
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life

By the way, does anyone have the chords of Dirty (original Christina Aguilera) played by Ed Sheeran at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge? I love that cover
