Gm                                   Ab
Yaşananları kül gibi bastım yüreğime söndürdüm
       Fm                                Gm
Boşver içimde bir parça adın kalmıştı da öldürdüm
                                           Ab
Mecbur kalan her parçanı içimde bir mezara gömdürdüm
      Fm                              Gm
Artık yaktım o gemileri içinde yandım körmüşsün

Gm                             Ab
Kuruttun içimde ne varsa leyla yine yanıyoruz
              Fm
Aralara eyvah şimdi üzerime dökülüyor git bak
Gm
Bırak olsun eyvallah

Gm
Sana kalsa tüm olanları hep şans
Ab
Bana kalırsa bu yanına kalmaz
Fm
Bitirdim aklımı heyhat
Gm
Sebebi sen ve yarınlar

Gm                      Ab
Yine başa dönüyorum ama bu sefer
                         Fm
Umutlarımı o bavula koyma donarım
          Gm
Usul usul yinede adını anıpta seni sormam

Gm                    Ab
içimde taş olur o gülüşün kader derim
              Fm
sanada yormam, beni sarma boşver
    Gm
her sözün zaten içimde bir toprak

Gm                                   Ab
Yaşananları kül gibi bastım yüreğime söndürdüm
       Fm                                Gm
Boşver içimde bir parça adın kalmıştı da öldürdüm
                                           Ab
Mecbur kalan her parçanı içimde bir mezara gömdürdüm
      Fm                              Gm
Artık yaktım o gemileri içinde yandım körmüşsün

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 3 different chords appear 30 times in total; 3 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

There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.

Improvisation tips

Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Gm, Ab, Fm carry the song: iii–IV–ii relative to Eb, v–VI–iv relative to Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Gm, letting the Eb side have the last word.

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.
