Harmony analysis
Erdal Güney – Bozdoğan: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Dm and ends on Dm. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
D minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it both starts and finishes on Dm and Dm is heard 23 times against 16 for F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F 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 F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 6 different chords appear 79 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Cm step outside the scale as colour chords.
Chord movement
- C Dm FV → videceptive cadence DmVII → iAeolian arrival ×14
- C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×10
- Bb C FIV → VIV → V DmVI → VIIVI → VII ×6
- Gm Dm Fii → vi Dmiv → iminor plagal ×2
The move to watch is C → Dm, heard 14 times. From the Dm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the F side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected F, lands on Dm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
- Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are C, Dm, F, Bb; read them as V–vi–I–IV in F or VII–i–III–VI in Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → Dm (V → vi in F, VII → i in Dm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm 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.
