Can you give the verse/interlude part that is right after the 4x2 measures of the intro? It starts with 4 FGC triplets, but I found 3 differering sources (uTubers) that say the next bar is EGC or EGD or EGE ( the last from user 'cmina').

Btw, it transcribes nicer in 12/8 time signature I think.

im not sure if we're talking about the same part...but egc sounds right to me too

[mikesmai]

thanks for catching that mysql!

[imakefunkybeats]

there's no debate. it's in 6/8.

not 3/8.

or 4/4.

the way the music is phrased makes this evident.

i wish people would stop talking like they knew what they were talking about.

it's not in 6/4, it just have groupings that end up on 12 (3 sixteenth notes + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12), and some would then divide that and find 6, ergo the supposedly 6/4 signature. It's probably in 4/4 (count the beats) with triplets, or 3/8..

I feel like Em doesn't sound right in the bridge. I like how 332010 sounds

It is either triplets in 4/4 changing chords every measure, in 6/4 played twice as fast as it would be in 12/8 (Only difference to 12/8 is 6/4 is written as quarter notes instead of eights), 12/8 changing chords once a measure, or (finally) in 6/8 changing chords every 2 measures.
