This page shows “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of E at 110 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with chord shapes in the key of E major, which means your left hand will be navigating four sharps — so take a moment to orient yourself around F♯, C♯, G♯, and D♯ before you start. The core progression (E–B–C♯m–A) repeats throughout, and your biggest challenge will be the transition into and out of C♯m: that pinky-stretch can feel awkward at first, so isolate just the B-to-C♯m change and loop it slowly until the hand shape feels automatic. At 110 BPM the rhythm is steady but not rushed, which gives you room to focus on smooth legato in the right-hand melody — use the sustain pedal lightly on chord changes to connect phrases without muddying them. I'd suggest hands-separate practice first, getting the left-hand pattern flowing on its own before layering the melody on top. Once both hands feel comfortable, the chorus will really sing under your fingers. This is the piece that'll lock in your I–V–vi–IV muscle memory in a sharp key, a skill that transfers to dozens of other pop songs.
