Does 7 Years use a well-known chord progression?
Yes! In B♭ major: The hopscotch progression (vi → I → IV → V) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and the chorus at 0:20. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the chorus at 2:48 and 3:04. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
