Bm, A6, E9, G, A6.
The bassline contains the notes B, A, G#, G, A. This is one basis of the chord
progression.
F#m sounds too dark, and A sounds to bright. A6 is the mashing of those two chords, with
the notes A C# E F#. If you listen to the electric guitar during the song, you'll
notice that, for the first 3 chords of the progression, it sounds a high F# note.
So, all of the first 3 chords have an F# in them.
This is why A alone wouldn't work... F#m alone COULD work, but it just sounds... eh.
Kinda needs that A bass note. F#m7 is, note-wise, the same thing as A6, but again, A6 has the
bass note. ( G# B E B D F# )
E9 is sorta specific, right? The fingering, on capo 2, is 2--0--0--2--1--0. On capo
0, the chord would be D9, but that's another deal. One of my favorite chord shapes, ever.
Again, that F# note plays on the guitar, and the bass note is G#. So, it had to
be an E chord WITH that F# in it. It also felt like an E7 chord, so I threw that D note
in there. Smash it together and BAM: E9.
The reason the G isn't a Gmaj7 is because the guitar plays a G note instead of an F#
note during this chord. So, nothing fancy.
Capo on 2. All chords relative to the capo. The song is mostly in B Minor,
however, it does leave the scale briefly for the B Dorian mode, which contains G# instead
of G?.
...For the sake of ease, let's just say it's in B Minor.
