Even Though I’m Leaving

This transcription starts in D major.

The estimated tempo is 78 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 D → G → Bm → A (10 occurrences); D → G → D → A (6 occurrences); D → G → Bm7 → A (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → IV → vi → V in D major; I → IV → I → V in D major; I → IV → vi7 → V in D 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 D major: The four-chord pop progression (IV → I → V → vi) shows up in the verse at 0:28 and 1:33. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the chorus at 2:07 and 3:17. 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 verse at 0:22 and the chorus at 0:47. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
