Key F major – D minor Chords A#, A, Dm, F Easy key C (capo 5)
A# A Dm F Affetmedin, acımadın, yıldırdın kadın. Soğuk savaş, sıcak bastı, ghost bastı. Bastırdım ben de ne bulduysam, tıkadım boşluğa. Masum bi kuldum, Dracula oldum. Kadın, kötü bi alışkanlık gibi kadın. Saçı falan var böyle, uzun. Bu şarkı tutmaz öyle, mesela çivilemek lazım. Saat sabah beş buçuk, müsadenle Rock'n Roll. A# A Dm F Kadın, kadın, ne desem yavan, ne desem yarım. Poşet gibi uçuyoruz be kadın. Üstümde yün kazak, ağzımda adın ki garip bi tatla. Eşyalar toplanmış da ben gidiyorum kadın Nabıyom ben? Efkar sirke tadında Dönme dolap, dönme be. Ateş yükseliyo, atları salın, ipleri çözün, çöpü dökün, sigortayı salın. A# A Dm F Kadın, kadın, ne desem yavan, ne desem yarım Nefsime hakim tutarım, davaları satarım. Kör topal çekinceler, ben yaşlı bir çekirgeyim Zıp zıp zıp zıp zıp zıp zıp zıp Çamaşır telinde sen ve ben... Sürtünme kuvvetinden mandallar yandı. Aramızdaki elektrik aklını kaçırdı. Depar atalım, ver elini dünya güzeli. A# A DM F Kadın, kadın, ne desem yavan, ne desem yarım.

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between F major and D minor because it comes to rest on F and the major V chord points straight at Dm. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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.

The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 4 different chords appear 12 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
The move to watch is A → Dm, heard 3 times. From the F side it reads V/vi → vi; from the Dm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening A# lays a solid floor for everything that follows. A#, A, Dm, F carry the song: IV–V/vi–vi–I relative to F, VI–V–i–III relative to Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A → Dm (V/vi → vi in F, V → i in Dm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. The final chord is F; the ear comes to rest in F.
