Welcome to the Black Parade

This transcription starts in G major. Later key changes are detected at 3:54 (A major).

The estimated tempo is 188 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 → Dmaj/3 → Em (6 occurrences); G → Dmaj/3 → Em → Gmaj7/5 (6 occurrences); Dmaj/3 → Em → Gmaj7/5 → C (6 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Recurring relative progressions include V → I → V/3 → vi in G major; I → V/3 → vi → Imaj7/5 in G major; V/3 → vi → Imaj7/5 → IV in G major. Numerals refer to the key active at that point; uppercase means major and lowercase means minor. Minor keys use natural-minor scale degrees.

The transcription contains repeated matches to the circle-of-fifths progression (vi → ii → V → I), e.g. verse at 0:20 in G major; verse at 0:33 in G major. Also, the ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I), e.g. chorus at 1:26 in G major; chorus at 1:39 in G major. Also, the double-plagal progression (♭VII → IV → I), e.g. verse at 2:00 in G major; verse at 2:10 in G major. Extensions, inversions and suspensions are simplified for matching; the chord labels retain them. These are chord-order matches, not confirmation of a particular rhythm, bass line or influence.

The transcription starts in 4/4.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:12) → interlude (1:04) → chorus (1:16) → interlude (1:48) → verse (1:58) → chorus (2:17) → verse (2:37) → chorus (2:57) → bridge (3:17) → chorus (4:07) → outro (4:27) → silence (5:04).

The transcribed version lasts 5:14. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
