Harmony analysis
Çağan Şengül – Sen: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ab and ends on Eb. 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)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it opens on Ab and Ab is heard 6 times against 2 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

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). 6 different chords appear 25 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Db Ab AbIV → Iplagal cadence FmVI → III ×2
- Db Eb AbIV → VIV → V FmVI → VIIVI → VII ×2
- Db Fm AbIV → vi FmVI → iVI → i ×2
- Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×1
The move to watch is Db → Ab, heard 2 times. From the Ab side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Fm side it is VI → III. 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 Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — 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 Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Ab, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Ab, Db, Eb, Bbm carry the song: I–IV–V–ii relative to Ab, III–VI–VII–iv relative to Fm. Bb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to Eb. Keep an ear on Db → Ab (IV → I in Ab, VI → III in Fm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. Ending on Eb, the song seals Ab 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.
