This song is in the key of A minor. It has (excluding the intro) the form AA'ABBAC.
(The A' is referring to the fact that the second A-section is incomplete.)
The A-section is comprised of a verse followed by an instrumental interlude. It repeats three times and reoccurs later in the song.
The verses have the following chord progression:
C* Am G F# F F# D G C G/B A
III i VII VI IV VII III VII I
* Technically a Cmaj7.
III i VII VI IV VII III VII I
* Technically a Cmaj7.
The intstrumental interludes between the verses have almost the same chord progression except shorter:
Am G F# F F#
i VII VI
i VII VI
The three A-sections end with a prolonged Cmaj7 chord, and then the song directly transitions to the B-section.
The B-section is composed of the following chords.
Bb A* Bb A* E F C E D C D C G/B A
II I II I V VI III V IV III IV III VII I
* These chords are technically Amaj9, but are referred to as A to keep things simple.
II I II I V VI III V IV III IV III VII I
* These chords are technically Amaj9, but are referred to as A to keep things simple.
The B section repeats twice with a small string interlude in between.
Finally, the C section includes a shift between the parallel major and minor.
Am A
i I
This major-minor shift repeats until the song fades out (20 times to be precise).
