Harmony analysis
Zeynep Bastık – Şinanay: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Fm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = E (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 F minor side because it opens on Fm, Fm is heard 16 times while Ab never appears and the major V chord points straight at Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab 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 Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 50 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Ab, the same C7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Fm.
Chord movement
- Db Fm AbIV → vi FmVI → iVI → i ×10
- C7 Fm AbV7/vi → visecondary resolution FmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×4
- Cm7 Fm Abiii7 → vi Fmv7 → inatural-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is Db → Fm, heard 10 times. From the Fm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Ab side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C7, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When C7 comes, swap the scale's Eb for E: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Fm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Fm, Db, C7, Eb carry the song: vi–IV–V7/vi–V relative to Ab, i–VI–V7–VII relative to Fm. C7 is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Db → Fm (IV → vi in Ab, VI → i in Fm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. Ending on Cm, the song seals Ab as home.
