This transcription starts in A minor.

The estimated tempo is 102 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 Cmaj6 → F → Gsus4 → Am (31 occurrences); F → Gsus4 → Am → Dm7 (22 occurrences); Gsus4 → Am → Dm7 → Cmaj6 (15 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IIImaj6 → VI → VIIsus4 → i in A minor; VI → VIIsus4 → i → iv7 in A minor; VIIsus4 → i → iv7 → IIImaj6 in A 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 A minor: The hopscotch progression (VI → VII → i → III) shows up in the chorus at 0:28 and 0:37. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The minor Puff progression (i → III → iv) shows up in the chorus at 0:30 and 1:36. A brief flash of relative major brightens the path from i to iv. The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:04. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing.
