Here’s to the Night

This transcription starts in G major.

The estimated tempo is 97 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 → Dsus4 → Em7 → C (10 occurrences); G → Em7 → C → Dsus4 (6 occurrences); Em7 → G → Em7 → Dsus4 (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → Vsus4 → vi7 → IV in G major; I → vi7 → IV → Vsus4 in G major; vi7 → I → vi7 → Vsus4 in G 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 G major: The four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 1:04 and 1:09. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the intro at 0:07 and the verse at 0:19. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:24 and 0:34. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

The song starts in 4/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:19) → pre-chorus (0:51) → chorus (1:04) → verse (1:23) → pre-chorus (1:46) → chorus (1:58) → bridge (2:18) → chorus (3:09) → outro (3:44).

The transcribed version lasts 4:10. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
