Dark Skies - Alison Krauss

David - Great work on this, it’s a difficult song to transcribe! Alison’s band actually plays it at 134 and I don’t hear the tonality of the Fmaj or Dsus2. But I love your interpretation and detail. Amazing!

Thanks… I still haven’t figured out what key it’s in.

Haha, I know right! Its definitely in the key if D, but the melody covers the D modal scale so it sounds like a Dm to the ear due to the flatted 3rd and the flatted 7th. At the end the of the sections you can hear the major 3rd as well. The use of the Vm in the chorus is unique and you might think it shift as to the key of C. But it all resolves back to the D in the end.
