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). 4 different chords appear 38 times in total; 4 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

Em A Dii → Vii → V Bmiv → VII ×3
G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×2

The move to watch is Em → A, heard 3 times. From the D side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Bm side it is iv → VII. 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 A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on F#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is F#m, G, A, Em — iii–IV–V–ii from the D side, v–VI–VII–iv from the Bm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em → A (ii → V in D, iv → VII in Bm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is F#m; the ear comes to rest in D.

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.
