Take a Bow

This transcription starts in E major.

The estimated tempo is 82 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 → B → C♯m → A (11 occurrences); E → B → Amaj7/3 → A (8 occurrences); A → E → Bmaj/3 → D (4 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Recurring relative progressions include I → V → vi → IV in E major; I → V → IVmaj7/3 → IV in E major; IV → I → V/3 → ♭VII in E 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 four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV); the singer-songwriter progression (vi → IV → I → V). Added tones and inversions may vary. This identifies a familiar pattern, not a claim about the song’s influences.

The transcription starts in 4/4. Later meter changes are detected at 3:40 (9/8); 3:43 (4/4).
