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 34 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

Ab Cm EbIV → vi CmVI → iVI → i ×2
Bb Cm EbV → videceptive cadence CmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
Fm Bb Ebii → Vii → V Cmiv → VII ×1
Ab Bb EbIV → VIV → V CmVI → VIIVI → VII ×1

The move to watch is Ab → Cm, heard 2 times. From the Eb side it reads IV → vi; from the Cm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

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 Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Eb; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Gm, Ab, Bb, Cm — iii–IV–V–vi from the Eb side, v–VI–VII–i from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Cm (IV → vi in Eb, VI → i in Cm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is Bb; 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.
