This transcription starts in B minor.

The estimated tempo is 94 BPM, calculated from the median spacing between detected beats. This is a summary of the transcription; timing can vary during the song.

Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include A → Bm → D → G (22 occurrences); Bm → A → D → G (7 occurrences); A → D → G → Dmaj6 (7 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: VI → VII → i → III in B minor; i → VII → III → VI in B minor; VII → III → VI → IIImaj6 in B minor. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Yes! In B minor: The hopscotch progression (III → VI → VII → i) shows up in the verse at 0:17 and 0:27. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the interlude at 2:34 and the chorus at 3:36. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing. The minor subtonic shuttle (i → VII) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and the verse at 0:10. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.

The transcription starts in 4/4.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:10) → chorus (0:51) → verse (1:20) → chorus (1:51) → interlude (2:19) → bridge (2:40) → chorus (2:50).

The transcribed version lasts 3:47. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
