It's me again. The guy who plays by ear and memorization. I've finished the song Sadness and Sorrow - Naruto (WHICH IS A GREAT PIECE), but I realized that my song sounds somewhat "dry" compared to the real version. Then I realized that there were chords being played in the left and right hand that I didn't recognize. Those are the letters that appear over the scale I'm guessing so I was wondering if anyone can tell me the notes for the chords I need to play.

The song I'm playing is in Key of E Minor (F's are Sharp).
The chords I need to be deciphered are:
Em
Am
D
G
Bm
C

To be honest, I think I know what C, G, and D are, but I just want to be sure. Also, I don't know exactly what the Am, Em, and Bm means. Again, thanks for the help. ^_^

Em (E minor chord) -> E, G, B
Am (A minor chord) -> A, C, E
D -> D, F#, A
G -> G, B, D
Bm (B minor chord) -> B, D, F#
C -> C, E, G

The m after the chord name means it's just a minor chord. That means that the third note of the chord is lowered by one semi-tone. (Compare A, C#, E to A, C[natural], E.)

Good luck! :D E minor is indeed a great key; it's one of my favorites.
