Harmony analysis
Jehan Barbur – Kusura Bakmasınlar: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em and ends on Em. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em and Em is heard 21 times against 4 for G. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 6 different chords appear 102 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×23
- D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×18
- D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×4
- Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×2
The move to watch is C → D, heard 23 times. From the Em side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the G side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are D, C, Em, Am; read them as V–IV–vi–ii in G or VII–VI–i–iv in Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → D (IV → V in G, VI → VII in Em): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in Em.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
