Beginners:

The version of this song is in the key of F Major indicating a B♭ chord in the mix. By placing a capo on the 3rd fret, we can play in the much easier key of D Major which may still require a barre chord depending on how you play Bm.

Bm can be played as a barre chord or as an open chord - xx4432. Both are included in the charts above.

The performance is 'a capella' which means singing without musical accompaniment. Although there are no instruments, you can still play along very easily.
