Numbered Circles: Chord fingering - number inside circle indicates which finger to use Unmarked strings: Play open X: Don't play string Barre Line: One finger holds down multiple strings R: Root Noteb

Right Handed Charts:

Please Note: Bb and B can be played using a mini-barre with the 3rd finger instead of using fingers 2,3,and 4. It depends on your level of experience or preference. If you are playing a guitar with a wide fretboard you may prefer the 2,3,4 choice - this ensures that each string will sound clearly. It is recommended that beginners use this method until your fingers have adapted to the mini-barre method.

Left Handed Charts:

Level Of Ease: Moderate. There are a few barre chords, but they are all fairly easy to play.
Key Signature: The song starts in the key of D Major...(2 sharps - F# C#) with a key change going into the final chorus; E Major (4 sharps - F# C# G# D#).
There is some interesting timing in each chorus between the 2nd and 3rd lines.
Where Adele sings "The reason you loved me", the D chord is played on the "me", which would normally come in at the start of the bar, but comes in on the & of the 4& of the previous bar. This means the following bar has to hold an extra quarter-note/quaver beat before changing to the F#m (-e) of "me-e before" at the end of the 3rd line of the chorus.
This may sound a little confusing, but if you listen and count the beats during the chorus leading up to and during the event, you will know what I mean. This is a form of off-beat syncopation where the note is played slightly before the beat. The effect is dramatic and works well in this song.
In the Intro, you can just play a D chord, however it sounds better with the subtleties of the Dsus4 and Dsus2 chords.
This live version of the song starts in the key of D. The original recorded version starts in the key of E♭ which some of you may find a little difficult to play. If you prefer the record version and don't want to play in E♭, simply put a Capo on the first fret and play in the key of D.
Hope you enjoy the song. From a musicians point of view, it has everything.
