Rock'n Me by Steve Miller Band

Key: B · 123 BPM · 3/4

Rock'n Me by Steve Miller Band is written in B major. Rather than one of the handful of progressions that show up again and again across pop and rock, it settles into its own 5-chord loop — E-B-E-B-A — repeating with its own internal logic instead of borrowing a familiar shape. At 123 BPM, it moves at a moderate, driving pace, in waltz time.
