Analysis
The key pair is G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 4 different chords appear 80 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E, Gbm step outside the scale as colour chords.
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
- 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 E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — 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.

The song's harmonic story
The opening E lays a solid floor for everything that follows. E, Bm, D, Gbm carry the song: VI–iii–V–vii relative to G, I–v–VII–ii relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. The final chord is Gbm; the ear comes to rest in G.
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.
