This transcription starts in F major.

The estimated tempo is 100 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 Cmaj/3 → F → B♭ → C (9 occurrences); Dm7 → Cmaj/3 → F → B♭ (7 occurrences); F → B♭ → C → Dm (6 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: V/3 → I → IV → V in F major; vi7 → V/3 → I → IV in F major; I → IV → V → vi in F 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 F major: The four-chord pop progression (IV → I → V → vi) shows up in the bridge at 2:04 and 2:14. 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 0:31 and 0:50. 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 0:30 and 0:40. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back. The Puff progression (I → iii → IV) shows up in the intro at 0:02 and the verse at 0:12. The move through iii puts a gentle minor shade between two bright major chords.

The song starts in 4/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:09) → chorus (0:28) → verse (1:07) → chorus (1:26) → bridge (2:04) → chorus (2:43).

The transcribed version lasts 3:34. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
