Hey Brother

This transcription starts in G minor.

The estimated tempo is 125 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 E♭ → F → Gm → B♭ (12 occurrences); F → Gm → B♭ → Dm/5 (11 occurrences); Gm → E♭ → F → Gm (10 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → VI → VII → i in G minor; VI → VII → i → III in G minor; VII → i → III → v/5 in G 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 G minor: The minor four-chord pop progression (i → VI → III → VII) shows up in the verse at 0:04 and 0:10. The familiar pop loop with its moodier chord in the spotlight. The Royal Road progression (v → i → VI → VII) shows up in the interlude at 1:39 and the chorus at 1:54. A bittersweet J-pop favorite that keeps moving without landing on the major home chord. The hopscotch progression (VI → VII → i → III) shows up in the interlude at 1:34 and 1:42. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around.

The song starts in 4/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.
