Analysis
The key pair is Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 5 different chords appear 42 times in total; 5 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
- F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×5
- F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×3
- Cm F Bbii → Vii → V Gmiv → VII ×3
- Dm Gm Bbiii → vi Gmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is F → Bb, heard 5 times. From the Bb side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Gm side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Dm, F, Cm, Gm — iii–V–ii–vi from the Bb side, v–VII–iv–i from the Gm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F → Bb (V → I in Bb, VII → III in Gm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Dm, the song seals Bb as home.
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.
