    Number one public figure what a pain just puts another rattle in your brain 


    Take another green but it's not the same 


    So now you're on the sandlane everyday dancing with the bulls in any old way 


                                                                   #VIIalt

Back to Chorus (fade) 





Transitions 





Verse to Chorus 


	Chords: G#5 to Em 


Harmonic Function: #VIIalt in A Minor to i in E Minor 


Interval: up 8 semitones / down 4 semitones 


Notes 


The chords C/G and G#5 are more or less chromatic, so this transition could also be considered a C (III in A Minor) to Em (i in E Minor) transition. 


Chorus to Verse 


	Chords: D to Am 


	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in A Minor 


	Interval: up 7 semitones / down 5 semitones 


Chorus to Bridge 1 


	Chords: D to Em 


	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in E Minor 


	Interval: up 2 semitones / down 10 semitones 


	Notes 


Bridge 1 does not bring about a new key whatsoever�it�s more of a different way of ending the Chorus, pausing, and then going back into it. 


Bridge 1 to Bridge 2 


	Chords: D to Am 


	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in A Minor 


	Interval: up 7 semitones / down 5 semitones 


	Notes 


Bridge 2 is simply a transposed version of Bridge 1.  Thankfully for Duran Duran, it transitions perfectly back into the Chorus. 


Bridge 2 to Chorus 


	Chords: G to Em 


	Harmonic Function: VII in A minor to i in E Minor 


	Interval: up 9 semitones / down 3 semitones
