The notes in Bm7

Because the uke's high-G string is re-entrant (it's a high note, not a bass), these notes don't stack low-to-high like a guitar — but the chord is the same: B (R), D (♭3), F♯ (5), A (♭7).

What a minor seventh chord is

a minor 7th adds a flat seventh to a minor chord (root, ♭3, 5th, ♭7) — a minor chord with the edges rounded off.

How it's used: The ii, iii and vi of a major key, and the i, iv and v of a minor key. The ii chord in a ii–V–I is almost always a m7.

The sound: Smooth, cool, mellow — minor without the gloom. Where you'll hear it: Jazz, funk, soul, R&B, and the pre-dominant chord in a jazz cadence.
