Gm                                            Ab
Hatıralar başucumda nöbet tutar gece gündüz, bekler beni

Düşlerim var benim hayallerim var
                                    Gm
Fikrim derya deniz fikrim geri getirir seni
                                               Ab
Ne eserim ne yağarım dururum mateme dilsiz dağ gibi
                                                      Gm
Dualarım var dualarım var, yazarım söylerim yana yana ismini

Eb
Yarıda kaldı şarkılar aman
          F
Bu yaraya deva değil zaman
Eb
Ateş düştüğü yeri yakar
       F
Bu düzeni bozuk dünya yalan

Gm                  Dm
Ötme bülbül ötme can ayazda kışta
Cm                    Dm
Sen gülü terk etme şarkılar şiirler yasta

Harmony analysis

Levent Yüksel – Yas: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

Eb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

C minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb major side because Eb is heard 2 times against 1 for Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 6 different chords appear 13 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F, Dm step outside the scale as colour chords.

Chord movement

There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.

Improvisation tips

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

The song's harmonic story

The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Gm, Ab, Eb, F; read them as iii–IV–I–II in Eb or v–VI–III–IV in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. The final chord is Dm; the ear comes to rest in Eb.

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.
