Teardrops on My Guitar

This transcription starts in B♭ major.

The estimated tempo is 100 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 B♭ → Fmaj/3 → Gm → E♭ (7 occurrences); B♭ → Gm7 → E♭ → F (5 occurrences); Gm7 → E♭ → F → Gm7 (2 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → V/3 → vi → IV in B♭ major; I → vi7 → IV → V in B♭ major; vi7 → IV → V → vi7 in B♭ 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 B♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (V → vi → IV → I) shows up in the verse at 0:17 and 0:45. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the verse at 0:00 and 0:09. 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 verse at 0:05 and 0:33. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

The song starts in 4/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.
