Neden yine hatırladım ki seni
Ne oldu da geldin aklıma
Rastlamaktan korktum ama bırakmadım anılar şehrini 
Kuru akşamlara inat ettim
Giydiğim kazakları attım, çırılçıplak gezdim
Ne oldu da geldin aklıma 
Acı insana masumiyet verir derdim hep
Doğruymuş
Küçük mutlulukları dostların neşelerinde bulursun
Felaket olur sana gülmek
Unutamazsın ışıklar söndüğü zaman
Neden geldin ki şimdi sen aklıma
Delilere gülerdim yerli yersiz
Sonra oturur kendim delilik ederdim
Deli olmak da varmış işin ucunda

Var olduğun için komik gelir insanlara
Ve sen güldürürken zorla ağlattırıyor sözlerin
Şarkılar inatla söylüyor yalnızlığını
Neden geldin ki şimdi sen aklıma
Ne güzel içiyordum bu akşam
Denizlere dalga olmuşum ki
Ne gariptir ki yağmurlu Didim bu akşam
Ne oldu da geldin aklıma
Sen inat ettinmi yaparsın bilirim
Getirip de yorma aklını boşuna


G           Am  
Ayrılıklar zamansız 
D          Em
Acıtır yüreğimi
C              D
Bu dert böyle amansız
Bm            Em
Yakıyor ciğerimi

G              Am
Dalgasız bir denizim
D           Em
Kavuşmuyor ellerim

Harmony analysis

Koray Avcı – Didim: 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)

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 and Em is heard 16 times against 5 for G. 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). 6 different chords appear 54 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

D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×7
Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×7
Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×7
C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×5

The move to watch is D → Em, heard 7 times. From the Em side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the G side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected G, lands on Em). 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 D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Em, D, Bm, Am — vi–V–iii–ii from the G side, i–VII–v–iv from the Em side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on D → Em (V → vi in G, VII → i in Em): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Em, the song seals Em 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.
