I`ve Just Seen a face-IV. Verse and chorus form

"I`ve Just Seen a Face" belong to the so-called Verse and Chorus form. A song belonging to the verse and chorus form is a song that possesses verses and choruses. Of course, these songs can possess more sections, and almost always they also possess an intro and a coda. However, in songs belonging to the verse and chorus form, the verses and the choruses form the core of the song. They represent what the listener normally remembers most easily. Additionally, we could say that the chorus is normally the part that the listener would identify with the song.

To tell the truth, to say that a song possesses verses and choruses is not very precise. These sections can be arranged in many different ways.

In the case of "I`ve Just Seen a Face," we have the following structure:

-Introduction: 11 measures
-Verse: 12 measures
-Verse: 12 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures
-Verse: 12 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures
-Verse (instrumental): 12 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures
-Verse:12 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures
-Chorus: 8 measures

We may simplify the notation in the following way:

I(11)-V(12)-V(12)-C(8)-V(12)-C(8)-V(instrumental, 12)-C(8)-V(12)-C(8)-C(8)-C(8)

An additional simplification would be.

I-V-V-C-V-C-V(I)-C-V-C-C-C

On the other hand, the last three choruses form the outro, which can be considered a different section. We would have, therefore:

I-V-V-C-V-C-V(I)-C-V-O

A further simplification would be:

I-V-3x(V-C)-V-O
