Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include D♭ → E♭ → D♭ → E♭ (4 occurrences); E♭ → D♭ → E♭ → A♭ (4 occurrences); D♭ → E♭ → A♭ → E♭maj/3 (4 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IV → V → IV → V in A♭ major; V → IV → V → I in A♭ major; IV → V → I → V/3 in A♭ 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 A♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 0:52 and 1:08. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:10. 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 chorus at 0:48 and 1:04. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back. In B♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 3:06. The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the interlude at 2:28. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 3:02 and 3:18.
