How do you convert guitar chords to piano chords?

Q. i really would like to play a song on the piano. the song is kind of old and i can only find it for the guitar so i was wondering how do you convert these to piano chords or notes?
( F#m Bm Em A7) thank you!

A. Well an F#m chord is an F#m chord no matter what instrument you play it on.

You should really learn how to build chords yourself. I don't know how long you've been playing piano, but if you can't tell me what notes are in an E minor chord then you need to get crackin' on some learnin'

F#m is F# A C#
Bm is B D F#
Em is E G B
A7 is A C# E G

Original Question

What are the notes/ fingerings for these arpeggios on piano?
Q. What are the notes for C major C minor G major F major A minor D minor? Please help by telling me the notes or directing me to a website about piano chords, arpeggios or broken chords.

A. Arpeggios , as I'm sure you know are the notes of a chord played consecutively rather than together. So for C major you would play (going up the scale)
C E G C,
then back down the scale.
C minor
C Dsharp F
G major
G B D
F major
F A C
A minor
A C E
D minor
D F A
The fingerings for arpeggios are (right hand) thumb, 3rd finger, little finger 3rd finger, thumb.
or thumb, 3rd finger, thumb little finger, thumb, 3rd finger thumb.
Here are some useful sites (be sure to look at other pages than the ones directly linked.)

Original Question

Why does this major chord sound minor?
Q. ok so im listening to 505 by the arctic monkeys and im like im gonna learn this song one every instrument now

on guitar its D minor to E minor but at the very beginning of the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQBe_pibFCo
on piano though its two major chords that sound very very dark

what is the reason for this?

A. He's playing Dm to Em, not major chords. His voicing is D F A to E G B, back and forth. In the intro, he plays each chord and then releases the top note. In other words, he plays the Dm chord (D F A) and releases the top A and holds the D and F. Then he plays the Em chord (E G B) and releases the top B and holds the E and G. This is in the intro only. Then when he starts singing, he holds all 3 notes in each chord for the full duration of the chord. That's the only difference between the Dm to Em in the intro and the Dm to Em in the verse.

That's a Vox Continental combo organ, not a piano.
