Ağlayan gözlerinden ben mi damlıyorum

Süzülüp akan yoksa ben miyim

Belki çok sonbaharlı bir özlem bu

Yaprağım düştün mü

Harmony analysis

Yaşar – Yaprağın Kaderi: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Bb and ends on Dm. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

F major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = E (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Bb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

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 comes to rest on Dm, Dm is heard 12 times against 8 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.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 8 different chords appear 54 times in total; 7 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

C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×8
Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×4
Gm C Fii → Vii → V Dmiv → VII ×4
A Dm FV/vi → vi DmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
Em7b5 A Fviiø7 → V/vi Dmiiø7 → Vii° → V ×2

The move to watch is C → F, heard 8 times. From the Dm side it is VII → III; from the F side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home). 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 Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — 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.
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

Starting on Bb, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Dm, Bb, C, F — vi–IV–V–I from the F side, i–VI–VII–III 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 C → F (V → I in F, VII → III in Dm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm as home.
