Here is a key that will help you read the chart:

The B Major chord is one that makes many beginners cringe. It is by far one of the most difficult chords to play, at least when played on the second fret. I have included 3 different chord charts below. The first 2 are played on the second fret and are the most difficult in my opinion. You can either barre the D, G and B strings on the 4th fret as in the second diagram below, or play those strings with your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. Whatever option is easier for you.
