Harmony analysis
Çağan Şengül – Ölmem Sana: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on Eb. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = F# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it opens on Gm, Gm is heard 8 times while Bb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb 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 Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 5 different chords appear 24 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm.
Chord movement
- F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×3
- D Gm BbV/vi → vi GmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×2
- Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×2
- Cm D Bbii → V/vi Gmiv → Viv → V ×2
The move to watch is F → Gm, heard 3 times. From the Gm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Bb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Bb, lands on Gm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — 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.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When D comes, swap the scale's F for F#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Gm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Gm, F, Cm, D; read them as vi–V–ii–V/vi in Bb or i–VII–iv–V in Gm. D is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F → Gm (V → vi in Bb, VII → i in Gm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Eb; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
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.
