Harmony analysis
İlyas Yalçıntaş – İncir: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Bm7 and ends on C#m7. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = E (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because F#m is heard 9 times while A never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A 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 A or to F#m; 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 A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 5 different chords appear 52 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 F#m Aiii7 → vi F#mv7 → inatural-minor cadence ×8
- Bm7 F#m Aii7 → vi F#miv7 → iminor plagal ×1
The move to watch is C#m7 → F#m, heard 8 times. From the F#m side it is v7 → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the A side it reads iii7 → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
- Over C#m7, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm7, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Bm7; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is C#m7, Bm7, F#m, Dmaj7 — iii7–ii7–vi–IVmaj7 from the A side, v7–iv7–i–VImaj7 from the F#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C#m7 → F#m (iii7 → vi in A, v7 → i in F#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on C#m7, letting the A side have the last word.
