Choosin’ Texas

This transcription starts in D♭ major.

The estimated tempo is 111 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 G♭ → D♭ → E♭m7 → A♭ (3 occurrences); D♭ → E♭m7 → A♭ → G♭maj7 (3 occurrences); E♭m7 → A♭ → G♭maj7 → B♭m (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IV → I → ii7 → V in D♭ major; I → ii7 → V → IVmaj7 in D♭ major; ii7 → V → IVmaj7 → vi 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 doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:05 and 2:12. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the verse at 0:31 and 1:38. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

The transcription starts in 4/4. Later meter changes are detected at 3:40 (9/8); 3:42 (4/4).
