The estimated tempo is 115 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 F → Fmaj7 → B♭ → F (8 occurrences); Fmaj7 → B♭ → F → Fmaj7 (8 occurrences); B♭ → F → Fmaj7 → B♭ (8 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → Imaj7 → IV → I in F major; Imaj7 → IV → I → Imaj7 in F major; IV → I → Imaj7 → IV in F major. 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 F major: The Puff progression (I → iii → IV) shows up in the verse at 0:22 and 1:20. The move through iii puts a gentle minor shade between two bright major chords.
