The estimated tempo is 128 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 Dmaj/3 → G → Dmaj/3 → G (6 occurrences); G → Dmaj/3 → G → Em7 (6 occurrences); Dmaj/3 → G → Em7 → A (6 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → IV → vi → IV in D major; I/3 → IV → I/3 → IV in D major; IV → I/3 → IV → ii7 in D 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 D major: The ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:20 and 1:28. Jazz’s trusty route home: set up some tension, turn it up, then let it resolve. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the chorus at 1:21 and 1:28. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
