Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between F major and D minor because it opens on F and Dm is heard 5 times against 3 for F. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 6 different chords appear 25 times in total; 6 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
- Gm Dm7 Fii → vi7 Dmiv → i7minor plagal ×2
- C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×1
The move to watch is Gm → Dm7, heard 2 times. From the F side it reads ii → vi7; from the Dm side it is iv → i7 (minor plagal: deep and melancholic). 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 Gm, land on G, Bb, D — 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 Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on F, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, Dm7, Am, C carry the song: ii–vi7–iii–V relative to F, iv–i7–v–VII relative to Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → Dm7 (ii → vi7 in F, iv → i7 in Dm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Am; the ear comes to rest in F.
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.
