This transcription starts in F minor.

The estimated tempo is 118 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 Fm → Fm7/b3 → E♭ → B♭maj6 (6 occurrences); Fm → A♭maj6 → E♭ → B♭maj6 (6 occurrences); Fm7/b3 → E♭ → B♭maj6 → Csus4(b7) (4 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → i7/b3 → VII → IVmaj6 in F minor; i → IIImaj6 → VII → IVmaj6 in F minor; i7/b3 → VII → IVmaj6 → Vsus4(b7) in F 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 F minor: The hopscotch progression (VI → VII → i → III) shows up in the chorus at 1:32 and 3:42. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The Dorian shuttle (IV → i) shows up in the verse at 0:41 and 0:49. A minor chord rocks against a major IV: moody, but with a bright edge. The minor subtonic shuttle (i → VII) shows up in the intro at 0:01 and 0:27. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.

The transcription starts in 4/4.
