        Bbm
Söyle bana

Neden hep kader, ödetti bedel

Bir tarafım dert hala yangına
Ab
Koştum bilmeden hiç düşünmeden
Gb             Ab                Bbm
Herkes yanımdaydı bir an düşene dek


Bbm
Denedim yeter sonu görmeden
                             Ab
Üstesinden gelemem hala galiba
                              Gb
Tükenmişim ben bir yanım hisseder
                                 Bbm
Kalkamam bu yerden tutmazsan elimden


Bbm
Kırdın kırk yerimden

Kalkta tut elimden 

Çıkmam hiç sözünden senin

Kördüm hep dururken
Ab
Soldu gözlerimde hayat

Yoktun düştüğümde
Gb
Çalmadı kapım hiç 
Ab                  Bbm
Bekle bekle yok kimse


Bbm
Bekle bekle yok kimsem

Kavgalarla geçti zaman

Sonum neydi bilmem ben

Giderken bu evden 
Ab                       Gb
Bir yolum yok, bir yanım boş

Umudum ol

Bbm
Daha değil gitme baba

Silinmez aklımdan 

Yazık etme bana
        Ab
Elimi tuut

Kalk uyan o mezardan
          Gb
Ölemezsin baba 
          Ab
Büyümedim hala 
  Bbm
Uyan

Bbm
Yürüdüm, yürüdüm
   
Olmasın istemem hiç birşey
                    Ab
Bana babamı geri verin

Büyüdüm savaşa savaşa hep
                        Gb
Düşün düşün hayat ölüme meyil

Bir yanım karanlık gecesine
                    Bbm
Dert oluyor millete mert

Bbm
Gidemem yenilip anla
 
Bir kardeşim var bir anam

Bir karış evde karnımız tok

Bugünde yanıyorsa sobam
Ab
İçimde büyük bir yara bırak
                     Gb
Kimse anlamaz halimi baba

Gel kapımı çal, bir daha sarılıcam

Bbm
Daha değil gitme baba

Silinmez aklımdan 

Yazık etme bana
        Ab
Elimi tuut

Kalk uyan o mezardan
          Gb
Ölemezsin baba
          Ab
Büyümedim hala
  Bbm
Uyan

Harmony analysis

Ayaz Erdoğan – Baba x Mengelez: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

Db major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

Bb minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Gb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Ab (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bbm and Bbm is heard 17 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db 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 Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 40 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

Ab Bbm DbV → videceptive cadence BbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
Gb Ab DbIV → VIV → V BbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
Gb Bbm DbIV → vi BbmVI → iVI → i ×4
Fm Bbm Dbiii → vi Bbmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1

The move to watch is Ab → Bbm, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Db side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Db, lands on Bbm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Db major pentatonic and Bb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Db – Eb – F – Ab – Bb): start from Db for a brighter phrase, from Bb for a bluesier one.
Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gb, land on Gb, Bb, Db — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Bbm, Ab, Gb, Fm — vi–V–IV–iii from the Db side, i–VII–VI–v from the Bbm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Bbm (V → vi in Db, VII → i in Bbm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Bbm, the song seals Bbm as home.

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.
