As suggested in the OLD DAN'S RECORDS Songbook.

The left hand fingers are numbered 1 to 5. As has already been pointed out the 2 bars in question are the Phrygrian mode in G, and the "ing" of trying is on the G note. So I guess that is why it [G] is included in the Bm chord. I am aware that Gordon capos his songs. That's my 10 pence worth.
