How are you playing the Bm?

I normally Barre (bar) it David but there is one section where its like variation of a D.. they are similar and can often be interchanged.. it depends on what you want to do with the sound.. hard to explain..

@ichingiching Got it man! Just worked it out man whilst I was fiddling with it today! Must say this is one of the best story-telling songs I know of. Keep up the good work! Would you please consider doing a cover of John Hartford's classic "Gentle on my mind", would love to hear your take on it. Many thanks, David.
