I was away from my guitar for too long and now I can't seem to get the "drifting away" part of Parting Ways to sound quite right. I know I used to play it Bm, ?, E. But what is the missing chord? I tried F# but that doesn't sound right to me. It's driving me crazy so hopefully someone here can help me out. Thanks!

    I'm pretty positive it's an E-Bm-A
    On the A, there's a quick hammer on and pull off on B string to make it a quick Asus4 back to an A.

    PS- STL guy here too. Go Blues. When they're done, maybe then I'll care about the Cards.

    Thanks! Is the order Bm, A, E??? Yeah I'm a big Blues fan as well, though it's not good for my health. Hope they force a game 7.

    Its right - at least that's how I've played it forever. Love that progression too. You can just fucking tear up that E at the end with a big swinging strum and if able, whammy bar/dive that shit!

    Typical of the Blues. 30 years of playoff misery....ugh. Its no wonder I've drifted away from watching more and more.
