Blue Hour
B♭ major~162 BPM4/43:45Coastal DriftSomewhere Past Midnighthigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in A and it sounds in B♭ major. Much easier than fingering B♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Sky goes blue
Slow, then deeper
First light blinks
One block over
Tea goes cool
Hand goes still
Nothing calling
Nothing will
Chorus
Blue hour
Soft turns softer
Sky undimming
Some other color
Blue hour
Lights come on slow
Window holds still
Like the world's let go
Verse 2
Glass turns cool
Frames go gray
Walls go quiet
Day gives way
Lamp by lamp
Sky widens slow
Even time
Forgets to go
Chorus
Blue hour
Soft turns softer
Sky undimming
Some other color
Blue hour
Lights come on slow
Window holds still
Like the world's let go
Bridge
No dark yet
No bright yet
Just blue
Final Chorus
Blue hour
Slipping under
Hours can keep
Their own thunder
Blue hour
Held in glass
Blue hour
Doesn't pass
Outro
Blue hour…
Blue hour…
Just blue…
This chart is a work in progress. If you spot something wrong, let me know and I’ll get it fixed.

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
