Dear prudence is in 2/4? I'm almost certain.... almost. and key signature is funny, im guessing D major?
I think it's 4/4, with the exception of 2 bars which are 2/4. And I think the key is D major because the first verse resolves to a D major 7th chord.
just wondering cause i just transcribed the piece and the progression goes D-C-B-Bb whats the theory behind that if its in d maj?
There are others on TB much better at theory than I am. But, I would say that because it starts in D major, every passage resolves in D major or D major 7th, and ends in D major, you should use that key signature.
A D Major key signature is comprised of 2 Sharps. The 2 sharps are F and C B minor is also a possibility because it aswell has 2 sharps that are F and C TO find the relative minor to a major go DOWN 3 semi tones So C#>C>B And to find the Major to a minor go UP 3 Semi tones So C>C#>D I thought I would throw in a little theory lesson
