I Ain’t Comin’ Back

This transcription starts in B 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 E → Bmaj7 → F♯maj6 → Bmaj7 (10 occurrences); G♯m → E → Bmaj7 → F♯maj6 (6 occurrences); Bmaj7 → F♯maj6 → Bmaj7 → G♯m (4 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IV → Imaj7 → Vmaj6 → Imaj7 in B major; vi → IV → Imaj7 → Vmaj6 in B major; Imaj7 → Vmaj6 → Imaj7 → vi in B 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 B major: The four-chord pop progression (vi → IV → I → V) shows up in the chorus at 0:39 and 0:49. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The doo-wop progression (V → I → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 0:48 and 0:57. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home.

The transcription starts in 5/8. Later meter changes are detected at 0:01 (4/4).
