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 Em7 → Dmaj/3 → G → C (9 occurrences); Dmaj/3 → G → C → G (9 occurrences); G → C → G → D (9 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: vi7 → V/3 → I → IV in G major; V/3 → I → IV → I in G major; I → IV → I → V 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 (IV → I → V → vi) shows up in the intro at 0:05 and the verse at 0:20. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The I–vi–ii–V turnaround / circle-of-fifths progression (vi → ii → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:52 and 2:02. A round trip through related chords, with the dominant setting up the return home. The ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:45 and 2:45. Jazz’s trusty route home: set up some tension, turn it up, then let it resolve. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the intro at 0:01 and the verse at 0:16. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
