The estimated tempo is 146 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 Amaj/3 → Dsus2 → E → F♯m7 (9 occurrences); F♯m7 → D → A → E (8 occurrences); A → D → Esus4 → A (5 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.
Here are a few patterns to play with: vi7 → IV → I → V in A major; I/3 → IVsus2 → V → vi7 in A major; I → IV → Vsus4 → I in A 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 A major: The four-chord pop progression (vi → IV → I → V) shows up in the chorus at 0:48 and 0:55. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the pre-chorus at 0:43 and 1:51. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:03. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back. In B♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (vi → IV → I → V) shows up in the chorus at 3:01 and 3:08. The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the outro at 3:37. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the outro at 3:34.
