I Hope You Dance

This transcription starts in B♭ major.

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 Gm → E♭ → B♭ → Fmaj/3 (9 occurrences); Fmaj/3 → Gm → E♭ → F (9 occurrences); Gm → E♭ → F → Gm (5 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Recurring relative progressions include vi → IV → I → V/3 in B♭ major; V/3 → vi → IV → V in B♭ major; vi → IV → V → vi in B♭ major. Numerals refer to the key active at that point; uppercase means major and lowercase means minor. Minor keys use natural-minor scale degrees.

The transcription contains repeated matches to the four-chord pop progression (vi → IV → I → V), e.g. intro at 0:02 in B♭ major; intro at 0:11 in B♭ major. Also, the doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V), e.g. verse at 0:27 in B♭ major; verse at 1:31 in B♭ major. Extensions, inversions and suspensions are simplified for matching; the chord labels retain them. These are chord-order matches, not confirmation of a particular rhythm, bass line or influence.

The transcription starts in 4/4.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:27) → chorus (1:18) → verse (1:31) → chorus (2:22) → bridge (2:47) → chorus (3:12) → outro (4:03).

The transcribed version lasts 4:54. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
