None of them
Intro/Chorus
Bm9 F#m Dmaj7 C#m7
Hang on Girl, Meet My Heart; It knows the best time for new love to start
Bm9 F#m Dmaj7 C#m7
Hang on Now, Meet My Heart; It Knows the best time for us to start
Bm9 F#m Dmaj7 F#m Amaj7 Am
Hang on Girl, Won’t You Remain?
Tyler’s Notes on Intro/Chorus
The Intro/Chorus uses chords mostly from Bm (modal).
One obvious exception is the C#m7 chord that replaces the
rarely used C#dim chord…borrowing the perfect fifth (Ab)
from the Classical minor. The Am we hear before the verse vocal
initiates a key change to E Minor.
Verse
Principal Key: Am
C C/D Am
No sooner than
D D/E Am
I turn my back and then
C C/D Am
It's so hard to find
D D/E
I'm on the decline with you.
Tyler’s Notes on the Verse
The Verse begins on the 3rd of the scale...C. We know that this
section is in A Minor rather than C Major because of the D chord.
Pre-Chorus
Principal Key: Am
D Am Cmaj7 Em7
Were I to know your feelings?
D Am Cmaj7 Em7
Is there something between me and you?
D Am Cmaj7 Em7
Can't pretend you surprise me and
D Am Cmaj7 Em7
Baby it’s hurting me too
Tyler’s Notes on the Pre-Chorus
Again, Beggs taps into the “more modern” modal minor,
ignoring the sharp 7 of the key (G#) by using Cmaj7 and Em7 chords.
Ending the section with an Em7 allows for an easy transition into
the Bm chord that begins the Chorus. This section is not
particularly interesting chord-wise, and stays safely within key. Still,
it is perhaps the most beautiful section of the song thanks to Stuart Neale's
pad voicings on the Jupiter-8 synthesizer (most notably on the Em7 chord on
the second and fourth time through the progression).
