Analysis
The key pair is G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 6 different chords appear 42 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
- C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×6
- D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×3
- Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×3
The move to watch is C → D, heard 6 times. From the G side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home); from the Em side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on G, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are D, C, Bm, Em; read them as V–IV–iii–vi in G or VII–VI–v–i in Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → D (IV → V in G, VI → VII in Em): IV → V — the lift that builds tension before home. Ending on Bm, the song seals G 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.
