Harmony analysis
LEA – Zu dir: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Dm and ends on Bb. 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 opens on Dm and Dm is heard 23 times while F never appears. 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.

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). 5 different chords appear 86 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
- Bb Dm FIV → vi DmVI → iVI → i ×20
- C Dm FV → videceptive cadence DmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- Bb C FIV → VIV → V DmVI → VIIVI → VII ×2
The move to watch is Bb → Dm, heard 20 times. From the Dm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the F side it reads IV → vi. 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 Bb, land on Bb, D, F — 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 C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Bb, Dm, C, Am; read them as IV–vi–V–iii in F or VI–i–VII–v in Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bb → Dm (IV → vi in F, VI → i in Dm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Bb, letting the F 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.
