Em             Bm
Her şey biter, herkes gider
A                       Em       Bm    
Gün bile kaçar gecenin koynuna saklanır
Em                   Bm                
Bir tek ben kalırım, benliğimden taşan
A                    Em       Bm   
Sevgim kahpe gözlerinde yankılanır
G                   A        F#m       Bm  
Yaşanmamışları düşünür, kuytularda üzülürüm

D                Em                          
Gel desen koşar, koşar gelir ellerim          
G                  A                 
Umursamaz dünyayı, umursamaz yaşamı         
D             Em                        
Sadece seni, tek seni bekledim            
G                      A              
Gel diyen ellerini of gözlerini özledim  
G                     A                  Bm
Ne umut kaldı ne bir rüya geceyedir küsmelerim
G                     A             F#m     Bm
Ne umut kaldı ne bir rüya geceyedir küsmelerim

Em             Bm      
Yürek yanar, kalpler ağlar
A                      Em         Bm
Sevdam bile çırpınır, çıkış yolları arar
Em                     Bm
Bir tek göz yaşı kalır bu aşktan geriye
A                      Em      Bm   
Ruhumda yeşerir yeniden aşk yaprakları
G                  A      F#m        Bm
Yaşanmamışları düşünür, kuytularda ölürüm

Harmony analysis

Badem – Geceyedir Küsmelerim (İlhan Şeşen): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Em and ends on Bm. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

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 it comes to rest on Bm and Bm is heard 12 times against 2 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 43 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

Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×8
G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×6
F#m Bm Diii → vi Bmv → inatural-minor cadence ×3
A D DV → Iauthentic cadence BmVII → III ×1
A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1

The move to watch is Em → Bm, heard 8 times. From the Bm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the D side it reads ii → 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 Bm, land on B, D, F# — 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.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — 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 chords that keep coming back are Bm, Em, A, G; read them as vi–ii–V–IV in D or i–iv–VII–VI in Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em → Bm (ii → vi in D, iv → i in Bm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Bm; the ear comes to rest in Bm.

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.
