This transcription starts in C♯ minor.

The estimated tempo is 194 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 C♯m → F♯m → Amaj6 → B (16 occurrences); C♯m → F♯m7 → A → B (15 occurrences); C♯m → F♯m → A → B (9 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → iv → VImaj6 → VII in C♯ minor; i → iv7 → VI → VII in C♯ minor; i → iv → VI → VII in C♯ 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 C♯ minor: The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the intro at 0:02 and the verse at 0:12. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing.
