Em
Sanma acıtmaz, dünya seni o kafeste

Her gün aynı tebessüm

Her gün aynı beste
  D            Em
Küçük sarhoş musun

Em
Kaçılcak yerin yoksa, aynalar bile hüzün

Açılcak dağların önünde, bak yolların uzun
  D            Em
Küçük mutsuz musun

Am
Bak oyuncaklar var, önün de deste deste
  B7
Hevesle yanan mum
                      Em
Sönmez güçsüz bir nefeste

       C       D           Em
Sen korkma yeniden doğar güneş
         C           D      Em
Tut cebinde ne kaldıysa hatalarından
    D          C        Em
Koy kendi kendini kendi yerine
      C             D
Korkarsan adım almaktan
              G       D     Em
Yada tut ki derinlere dalmaktan
        C      B7          Em
Sen korkma yeniden doğar güneş

Em
Yok mu elinden tutan yada, biraz tütün

Gülüşlerin paramparça, yalnızlığın bütün
  D             Em
Küçük duyuyor musun

Em
Anlamasın kimse, boş ver onları biraz

Sevgi nedir bilmeyen, şiirden anlamaz
  D             Em
Küçük yazıyor musun

Am   
Bak kalemlerim var, önün de deste deste

Hevesle yanan mum
                      
Sönmez güçsüz bir nefeste

Harmony analysis

Can Bonomo – Güneş: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

E minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
#7 = D# (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 E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em, Em is heard 19 times against 2 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. 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.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

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). 6 different chords appear 51 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.

Chord movement

D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×10
C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×6
B7 Em GV7/vi → visecondary resolution EmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×2
Am B7 Gii → V7/vi Emiv → V7iv → V ×2
C Em GIV → vi EmVI → iVI → i ×2

The move to watch is D → Em, heard 10 times. From the Em side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the G side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected G, lands on Em). 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 Em, land on E, G, B — 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.
Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When B7 comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Em, D, C, B7; read them as vi–V–IV–V7/vi in G or i–VII–VI–V7 in Em. B7 is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on D → Em (V → vi in G, VII → i in Em): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Em, the song seals Em as home.
