Chords

There are a couple of weird chords, so here are the shapes for them: Bm F#m
e|-2-------2---|
B|-3-------0---|
G|-0-------2---|
D|-0-------0---|
A|-2-------0---|
E|---------2---|
Also, for the first two lines of each verse it seems like there's a hammer on when going to Bm on the A string [Intro] For this I keep my middle and ring fingers on the e and B strings and strum while hitting the other notes, listen to the song to figure out the rhythm [Intro]
e|------2-------------------------------2----2---2-----------|
B|------3-------------------------------3--3-------3---------|
G|------2-------------------------------2------2-------------|
D|--0-------4--2--4------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------0h4--2----------------------------|
E|---------------------------------2--3----------------------|
