Yağmurlu bir, eylül akşamı
Sen biraz sarhoş, ben ise dargın
A
Gözlerim dolu, dilimde bir şarkı
B G#
Ben senden uzak, sen ona yakın
C#m
Düşünmedin mi hiç, onu öperken
Üşümedin mi hiç, o seni soyarken
A
Çünkü sonbahar, turuncu yapraklar
B G#
Sigaramı sömüren, hafif bir rüzgâr

Teşekkür ederim, her şey için

Güven bırakmadın, tebrik ederim

Yoksa unutamazdım, aylarca yıllarca

Girmesen yatağına fırsatçı bir hiçin

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it opens on C#m, C#m is heard 5 times while E never appears and the major V chord points straight at C#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from E major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#m; 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.

The key pair is E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 4 different chords appear 22 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of C#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from E, the same G# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for C#m.
The move to watch is A → B, heard 5 times. From the C#m side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the E side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is C#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are A, G#, C#m, B; read them as IV–V/vi–vi–V in E or VI–V–i–VII in C#m. G# is the interesting twist: in E it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in C#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A → B (IV → V in E, VI → VII in C#m): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. The final chord is G#; the ear comes to rest in E.
