Am                            Gm
Bak bi giderken durgun gözlerime
                          Am
Anlamazsın hasretin özlemime
                      Gm
Felekten bir gece yarısı
                   Am
Düştün gözbebeklerime

Am                    Bb
Dara düştüm şimdi nerdesin
    Gm                      Am
Sanırım beni bıraktığın yerdesin
  F                       Bb
Boğulurum gözyaşın neyin nesi
     Gm               Am
Bu gece ayrılıklar gecesi

         Bb
Öyle bi' gider gibi bakışı var
       Am
İçi de dışı da yine beni yakar
          Gm
Herkes gönlündeki acısı kadar
       Am
Aşktan kalan yalanla yaşar

Harmony analysis

Burak Bulut – Ayrılıklar Gecesi: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Am and ends on Am. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

F major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = E (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Bb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

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 F major side because F is heard 1 times while Dm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from D minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

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). 4 different chords appear 17 times in total; 4 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

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 Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Am, Gm, Bb, F carry the song: iii–ii–IV–I relative to F, v–iv–VI–III relative to Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Am, 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.
