Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include Fmaj7 → Cmaj7 → Em7/5 → Fmaj7 (7 occurrences); Fmaj7 → Fm → Cmaj7 → Em7/5 (6 occurrences); Cmaj7 → Em7/5 → Fmaj7 → Cmaj7 (6 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IVmaj7 → Imaj7 → iii7/5 → IVmaj7 in C major; IVmaj7 → iv → Imaj7 → iii7/5 in C major; Imaj7 → iii7/5 → IVmaj7 → Imaj7 in C 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 C major: The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the intro at 0:12 and the verse at 0:44. 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 0:00 and 0:08. The move through iii puts a gentle minor shade between two bright major chords. The plagal sigh (IV → iv → I) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and 0:20. One note sinks as IV turns minor, giving the return home its little ache.
