Harmony analysis

Bora Duran – Gül Senin Tenin: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Ab major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Db (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 2 times while Ab never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab 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 Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 5 different chords appear 33 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

Db Eb AbIV → VIV → V FmVI → VIIVI → VII ×3
Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×2
Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2

The move to watch is Db → Eb, heard 3 times. From the Fm side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the Ab side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Cm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Cm, Bbm, Db, Eb carry the song: iii–ii–IV–V relative to Ab, v–iv–VI–VII relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Db → Eb (IV → V in Ab, VI → VII in Fm): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab 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.
