This arrangement of Shape Of You is a transposed version in A minor. It presents the main intro with the main rhythmic pattern by both hands (bars 1-4). The main theme of the intro consists of double notes in the right-hand. Most of them sixths. The bass line in the left hand follows the percussive swing in the right hand. The verse features the main melody in the right hand with some passing and neighbor tones in determinate points. The main chord progression is present in the left-hand with leaps alternating between the bass and chord notes. On the second verse and the chorus, the melody has notes that fill the harmony on the second layer (bars 13-36). The leaps in the left hand are maintained. Then, the same structure from the first verse returns on the first ending and go back to second verse on page 2. In the bridge (bars 45-48), the main melody is in octaves with a pedal point on the left hand. Afterwards, the intro material played in the left-hand (bars 49-53) replaces the pedal point. In the final section, the chorus reappears and later the bridge material dialogues with the last fragment of the chorus (bars 54-69). At the end of the song, the intro material is recollected (bars 70-73). In the last bar, the tonic chord suddenly appears as seventh chord in arpeggio. It contrasts with the percussive sway of the intro material.
