The song opens on Dm and ends on A. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
D minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = C# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it opens on Dm, Dm is heard 16 times against 6 for F and the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 7 different chords appear 78 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
Chord movement
- A Dm FV/vi → vi DmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×6
- Bb F FIV → Iplagal cadence DmVI → III ×4
- Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×4
- Bb Dm FIV → vi DmVI → iVI → i ×3
- Gm Dm Fii → vi Dmiv → iminor plagal ×2
The move to watch is A → Dm, heard 6 times. From the Dm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the F side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
- Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When A comes, swap the scale's C for C#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Bb, Dm, A, C — IV–vi–V/vi–V from the F side, VI–i–V–VII from the Dm side. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A → Dm (V/vi → vi in F, V → i in Dm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on A, the song seals F as home.
