Abm
Dolandım durdum gecelerin elinde

Düzen mi böyle yoksa bi bende mi sürüncene

Hassas gergin ay ya ya yay
E                       D#
Çocuk sabir birakmadi yeterince

Abm
İsterim şöyle güzel bir samanlık seyran

Aşk durağında indim trafik tıkanmadan

Ne sağdan ne soldan gelen var
 E              D#
Abuk subuk kabuslarmış bunlar

Abm                             C#m  D#
Kalbimden kovdum aşk meleklerini
Abm      Gb              B            C#m  D#
Yerine davet ettim yanlızlığı ve bekçileriini

Ben çok şahaneyim, güzelliğim gelir benim ezelden

Sen çok ateşlisin ve de yüreklisin

Ama kim bilir nerdesin sen

Harmony analysis

Zeynep Bastık – Şahaneyim: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Abm and ends on Abm. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

B major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

G# minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
#7 = G (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 G# minor side because it both starts and finishes on G#m, G#m is heard 19 times against 4 for B and the major V chord points straight at G#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B 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 B or to G#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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 7 different chords appear 59 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of G#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from B, the same D# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for G#m.

Chord movement

D# Abm BV/vi → vi G#mV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×11
C#m D# Bii → V/vi G#miv → Viv → V ×8
Gb B BV → Iauthentic cadence G#mVII → III ×2
E Abm BIV → vi G#mVI → iVI → i ×2

The move to watch is D# → Abm, heard 11 times. From the G#m side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the B side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
Over Abm, land on Ab, Cb, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D#, land on D#, G, A# — 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.
When D# comes, swap the scale's F# for G: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Abm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Abm, D#, E, C#m; read them as vi–V/vi–IV–ii in B or i–V–VI–iv in G#m. D# is the interesting twist: in B it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in G#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on D# → Abm (V/vi → vi in B, V → i in G#m): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Abm, letting the G#m side have the last word.

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.
