Bm-Bm9-GM7-G6-A-G-A-Bm Bm is fingered as a barre chord off of the second fret. Bm9 is fingered the same way as Bm, but you let go of your middle finger. GM7 is fingered strangely: Pointer Finger: 2nd fret high E Middle Finger: 3rd fret B Ring Finger: 4th fret G Pink Finger: 5th fret D (You can bar the entire second fret with your pointer finger if you like.) For the G6, finger the GM7 but let go of your pointer finger on the high E.

Sing "So long ago" between the Intro melodies.) Judging from the videos I've seen of Marco playing it, I don't think he uses the same fingerings for the chords but it sounds the same to me.
