Tyler’s Notes on Intro/Chorus
Verse, which starts on a chord with the same root note…Bbm.
Verse
Tongue tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, I'm not naive, you must be strong
Ooh, baby, try
Modal I II III IVm Vm VI VII
Classical IV^ V
Tyler’s Notes on the Verse
specifically, Fm7, indicate his preference of the Modal Minor over the
Classical Minor. The fact this section is comprised entirely of minor chords
(NC)
Hey girl, move a little closer
You’re…
Modal I II III IV Vm VI VII
Classical IV^ V
Tyler’s Notes on the Pre-Chorus
Like the transition from the Intro/Chorus into the Verse in “Hang on Now,"
The beginning of this section is harmonically ambiguous and is identified with the “(NC)" symbol,
which stands for “No Chord." This is often seen in jazz and is a very effective key-changing technique.
as Limahl utters, “You’re…" before the Chorus begins.
Chorus
Too shy, shy
Hush, hush…eye to eye
Too shy, shy
Hush, hush………
Modal I II III IV Vm VI VII
Classical IV^ V
Tyler’s Notes on the Chorus
The Chorus is comprised of a fairly basic descending progression.
