Thinking Out Loud Tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: schnakeeee
 
Tuning: half step down for most live versions, standard for the recording
 
So I noticed that there was no good tab for this song, and I absolutely love it, so
I learned it and thought I'd make one. It's pretty easy to get the rhythm down if you
listen to the track. Also, between each chord, ed slaps down on the strings to mute them, and
there are some stylistic slaps and strums here and there.
