Intro/Chorus
Bm9 F#m D7+ C#m7
Hang on Girl, Meet My Heart; It knows the best time for new love to start
Bm9 F#m D7+ C#m7
Hang on Now, Meet My Heart; It Knows the best time for us to start
Bm9 F#m D7+ F#m A7+ 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#° 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 C7+ Em7
Were I to know your feelings?
D Am C7+ Em7
Is there something between me and you?
D Am C7+ Em7
Can't pretend you surprise me and
D Am C7+ 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 C7+ 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).
