What Was I Made For?

This transcription starts in C major.

The estimated tempo is 78 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 Em → Fmaj7 → C → Em (11 occurrences); Fmaj7 → C → Em → Fmaj7 (10 occurrences); C → Em → Fmaj7 → C (9 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: iii → IVmaj7 → I → iii in C major; IVmaj7 → I → iii → IVmaj7 in C major; I → iii → IVmaj7 → I in C 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 C major: The Puff progression (I → iii → IV) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:06. The move through iii puts a gentle minor shade between two bright major chords.
