Harmony analysis
Gökhan Türkmen – Şerefine: key and chord analysis
The song opens on F#m7 and ends on F#m7. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = E (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it both starts and finishes on F#m and F#m is heard 11 times against 6 for A. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A 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 A or to F#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.

Analysis
The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 5 different chords appear 39 times in total; 5 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
- E F#m7 AV → vi7deceptive cadence F#mVII → i7Aeolian arrival ×4
- Dmaj7 E AIVmaj7 → VIV → V F#mVImaj7 → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Dmaj7 F#m7 AIVmaj7 → vi7 F#mVImaj7 → i7VI → i ×4
The move to watch is E → F#m7, heard 4 times. From the F#m side it is VII → i7 (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the A side it reads V → vi7 (deceptive cadence: expected A, lands on F#m). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
- Over Dmaj7, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m7, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Amaj7, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on F#m7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Dmaj7, F#m7, Amaj7, E — IVmaj7–vi7–Imaj7–V from the A side, VImaj7–i7–IIImaj7–VII from the F#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on E → F#m7 (V → vi7 in A, VII → i7 in F#m): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on F#m7, the song seals F#m 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.
