This transcription starts in D major.

The estimated tempo is 103 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 → Gmaj/5 → Bm → A (10 occurrences); D → Gmaj/5 → D → Gmaj/5 (6 occurrences); Gmaj/5 → D → Gmaj/5 → Bm (4 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → IV/5 → vi → V in D major; I → IV/5 → I → IV/5 in D major; IV/5 → I → IV/5 → vi in D 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 D major: The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the verse at 0:07 and 0:15. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
