The estimated tempo is 76 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 B♭ → Fmaj6 → C → Dm (11 occurrences); Dm → B♭ → Dm → B♭ (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → VI → IIImaj6 → VII in D minor; i → VI → i → VI in D 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 D minor: The minor four-chord pop progression (i → VI → III → VII) shows up in the chorus at 0:50 and 0:57. The familiar pop loop with its moodier chord in the spotlight. The Aeolian shuttle (i → VI) shows up in the verse at 0:19 and 0:25. A minor home chord and its major VI trade places in a gentle light-and-shadow loop.

The song starts in 2/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.
