Harmony analysis
Kenan Doğulu – Aklım Karıştı: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Bm and ends on Bm. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because Em is heard 4 times against 2 for G. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 5 different chords appear 35 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
- Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×4
- Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×3
- D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×2
- D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
The move to watch is Am → D, heard 4 times. From the Em side it is iv → VII; from the G side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — 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.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Am, Bm, D, Em carry the song: ii–iii–V–vi relative to G, iv–v–VII–i relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Am → D (ii → V in G, iv → VII in Em): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is Bm; the ear comes to rest in G.
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.
