Harmony analysis
Elif Buse Doğan – Aşk Başımda Bela: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Emaj7 and ends on G#m7. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because it comes to rest on G#m and G#m is heard 9 times while B never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 5 different chords appear 46 times in total; 5 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
- C#m7 G#m7 Bii7 → vi7 G#miv7 → i7minor plagal ×4
- D#m7 G#m7 Biii7 → vi7 G#mv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×3
- Emaj7 G#m7 BIVmaj7 → vi7 G#mVImaj7 → i7VI → i ×1
The move to watch is C#m7 → G#m7, heard 4 times. From the G#m side it is iv7 → i7 (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the B side it reads ii7 → vi7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over D#m7, land on D#, F#, A# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C#m7, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Emaj7, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Emaj7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is D#m7, C#m7, Emaj7, G#m7 — iii7–ii7–IVmaj7–vi7 from the B side, v7–iv7–VImaj7–i7 from the G#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C#m7 → G#m7 (ii7 → vi7 in B, iv7 → i7 in G#m): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on G#m7, letting the G#m 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.
