Analysis

The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 6 different chords appear 36 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

Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×4
Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×2
Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
Db Fm AbIV → vi FmVI → iVI → i ×2

The move to watch is Bbm → Eb, heard 4 times. From the Ab side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Fm side it is iv → VII. 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 Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
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.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Db, Cm, Bbm, Eb; read them as IV–iii–ii–V in Ab or VI–v–iv–VII in Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bbm → Eb (ii → V in Ab, iv → VII in Fm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. Ending on Cm, the song seals Ab as home.

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.
