More chords by Richie Havens
Genre: motown, soul, folk
Bar 9th fret for Bm
2nd fret for Em
4th for F#m
F# is 444544
and F#7 is 4x4554 or 444574, I like the latter
This is how Richie plays it and it's easiest.
Richie will occasionally play open strings while playing Bm.
You can see it in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQGFmEbuJOY
The open strumming is sporadic and somewhat random.
