Harmony analysis
Servet Kocakaya – Piro: key and chord analysis
The song opens on A and ends on F#m. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = E (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it comes to rest on F#m, it opens on A and F#m is heard 14 times against 6 for A. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis
The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 5 different chords appear 40 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
- Bm F#m Aii → vi F#miv → iminor plagal ×8
- E F#m AV → videceptive cadence F#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- E A AV → Iauthentic cadence F#mVII → III ×2
- D F#m AIV → vi F#mVI → iVI → i ×2
The move to watch is Bm → F#m, heard 8 times. From the F#m side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the A side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on A, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. F#m, E, Bm, A carry the song: vi–V–ii–I relative to A, i–VII–iv–III relative to F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm → F#m (ii → vi in A, iv → i in F#m): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on F#m, the song seals F#m 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.
