Leave Before You Love Me

This transcription starts in G major.

The estimated tempo is 120 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 G → Em → C → D (6 occurrences); G → Em7 → C → D (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → vi → IV → V in G major; I → vi7 → IV → V in G 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 G major: The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the verse at 0:08 and 0:24. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:16 and the chorus at 0:48. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

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

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:08) → chorus (0:40) → verse (1:12) → chorus (1:44).

The transcribed version lasts 2:44. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
