Analysis
The key pair is Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 7 different chords appear 27 times in total; 7 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
- Cm7 F Bbii7 → Vii → V Gmiv7 → VII ×2
- Dm7 Gm Bbiii7 → vi Gmv7 → inatural-minor cadence ×2
- F Bbmaj7 BbV → Imaj7authentic cadence GmVII → IIImaj7 ×1
- F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
- Eb F BbIV → VIV → V GmVI → VIIVI → VII ×1
The move to watch is Cm7 → F, heard 2 times. From the Bb side it reads ii7 → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Gm side it is iv7 → VII. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dm7, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm7, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Bb; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are F, Dm7, Cm7, Gm; read them as V–iii7–ii7–vi in Bb or VII–v7–iv7–i in Gm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm7 → F (ii7 → V in Bb, iv7 → VII in Gm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on Dm7, letting the Bb side have the last word.
