Harmony analysis
Emre Fel – Deli Sevda: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em and ends on Em. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em and Em is heard 27 times against 7 for G. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 6 different chords appear 71 times in total; 6 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
- D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×12
- Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×8
- D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×7
- C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×7
- Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×1
- Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is D → Em, heard 12 times. From the Em side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the G side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected G, lands on Em). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em, D, Am, C carry the song: vi–V–ii–IV relative to G, i–VII–iv–VI relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on D → Em (V → vi in G, VII → i in Em): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in Em.
