AI reference · supporting evidence Strummed · 4/4 · about 84 BPM

Compact full-song accompaniment in E minor, using the recurring Em–Cadd9–G–D progression. One chord equals one bar unless two chords share a bar as explicitly shown.

Timing check: 111 bars × 2.727 seconds per bar = approximately 302.7 seconds, matching the verified 302.787-second recording. Adjacent full-bar chord events were paired because the literal interpretation exceeded the verified recording duration.

Expected about 111 bars; arranged 112.0 bars (about 306 seconds, recording 303 seconds).
