Tyler’s Notes on Intro/Chorus

        The Intro/Bridge is 
comprised of two minor chords in the
 key of Eb (Fm7 and Gm7)
on top of a pedal note of Bb.  This 
Bb pedal note effectively transfers 
the Intro into the
Verse, which starts on a chord with 
the same root note…Bbm.

Verse

Principal Key: Bb Minor

Bbm                           
Tongue tied or short of breath, 
         Ebm7                      
don't even try
                 Fm7

                Ebm7
Try a little harder
Bbm                               
Something's wrong, I'm not naive, 
    Ebm7                           
you must be strong
    Fm7

                 Ebm7
Ooh, baby, try

Tyler’s Notes on the Verse
        The Verse consists entirely 
of minor chords.  Beggs’ use of Ebm7
 and, more
specifically, Fm7, indicate his 
preference of the Modal Minor over 
the
Classical Minor.  The fact this 
section is comprised entirely of 
minor chords
helps distinguish it from other 
sections of the song.

Tyler’s Notes on the Pre-Chorus
        Like the transition from the
 Intro/Chorus into the Verse in 
“Hang on Now,"
this section changes key and moves 
up a perfect fourth (from Bbm to Ebm
 ).
The beginning of this section is 
harmonically ambiguous and is 
identified with the “(NC)" symbol,
which stands for “No Chord."  This 
is often seen in jazz and is a very 
effective key-changing technique.
It becomes clear that we are in Ebm 
when we finally hear the implied C#7
 chor
as Limahl utters, “You’re…" before 
the Chorus begins.

Chorus

Ebm        C#            B/F#
Too shy, shy
          B/F#               (NC)
Hush, hush…eye to eye

Last Chorus Variation:

Ebm        C#
Too shy, shy
           B/F#
Hush, hush………..

Tyler’s Notes on the Chorus
        The Chorus is comprised of a
 fairly basic descending 
progression.
It is not particularly interesting, 
as it does not go out of key, but it
 moves
so quickly and has such a catchy 
hook that all is made well—and in 
fact—all goes
PERFECTLY well.  Again, “(NC)" 
stands for “No Chord," but there are
 two chords
that are implied: Bbm and Bbm/F
