Thank you,...Did you think on Bb - that is a B flat major , or A sharp major (A#) however do you call that chord. Here is the explanation of that, and Em var. chords Chords: EADGBe --> Strings Em#5add9 - xx2012 Em#5 - xx2013 Bb(A#) - x13331 X means that you dont strum the string Play along the song to get it , its simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baS03Epb3aw
