Minor view
D minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = C# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it both starts and finishes on Dm, Dm is heard 16 times against 6 for F and the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 8 different chords appear 64 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×6
- A Dm FV/vi → vi DmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×6
- Gm C Fii → Vii → V Dmiv → VII ×4
- Gm A Fii → V/vi Dmiv → Viv → V ×4
- C Dm FV → videceptive cadence DmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is C → F, heard 6 times. From the Dm side it is VII → III; from the F side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — 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.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When A comes, swap the scale's C for C#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Dm, A, Gm, C; read them as vi–V/vi–ii–V in F or i–V–iv–VII in Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on C → F (V → I in F, VII → III in Dm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on Dm, letting the Dm side have the last word.
