Harmony analysis
Bahadır Tatlıöz – Kafam Duman: key and chord analysis
The song opens on F#m and ends on G. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
B minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = A (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because Bm is heard 5 times against 1 for D. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D 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 D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 6 different chords appear 34 times in total; 6 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
- G Bm DIV → vi BmVI → iVI → i ×2
- F#m Bm Diii → vi Bmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
- Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×1
- G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×1
The move to watch is G → Bm, heard 2 times. From the Bm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the D side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening F#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. F#m, G, Em, Bm carry the song: iii–IV–ii–vi relative to D, v–VI–iv–i relative to Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G → Bm (IV → vi in D, VI → i in Bm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. Ending on G, the song seals D 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.
