Em                           Am
Aradan geçen yıllara sor iki aşık aşkı unutur mu
  B                          Em
Aşkın huzur meleğisin sen rüzgar seni hiç uyutur mu
                                Am
Sıradan bir ayrılığı seçtin gerekende oydu gözün ıslak
    B                          Em
Ben kalpten ayrılanı geçtim kalbim elinde yarı çıplak

Em  B  Am  B

    Em
Bir ben mi yaşlandım yoksa anılar mı

Gönlüm kıpır kıpır yoksa sıradan mı
    Am                         B
Bir ben mi öfkelendim aşkın acısından
                                Em
Kalbim utandı ilk kez kendi yarısından

    Em
Aşk tanrısı haberi yok göz pınarı ıslak

Sensiz hiç değeri yok kaldı yarı çıplak
       Am              Em
Ahhh zalim hayat vicdansız hayat
       B                 Em
Kıs kıvrak saplandım ortasından

      Am                  Em
Hislendim kimsem yok sana geldim
       Am                  Em
Baktım hiç kimsem yok sana geldim

Em                           Am
Aradan geçen yıllara sor iki aşık aşkı unutur mu
  B                          Em
Aşkın huzur meleğisin sen rüzgar seni hiç uyutur mu
                                Am
Sıradan bir ayrılığı seçtin gerekende oydu gözün ıslak
    B                          Em
Ben kalpten ayrılanı geçtim kalbim elinde yarı çıplak

Harmony analysis

Gülben Ergen – Yarı Çıplak: 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.

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

E minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
#7 = D# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)

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, Em is heard 14 times while G never appears and the major V chord points straight at Em. 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). 3 different chords appear 31 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.

Chord movement

B Em GV/vi → vi EmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×7
Am B Gii → V/vi Emiv → Viv → V ×6
Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×3

The move to watch is B → Em, heard 7 times. From the Em side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the G side it reads V/vi → vi. 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 Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When B comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Em, Am, B; read them as vi–ii–V/vi in G or i–iv–V in Em. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on B → Em (V/vi → vi in G, V → i in Em): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Em, letting the Em 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.
