Harmony analysis
Tarkan – Nasıl Geçti Habersiz: key and chord analysis
The song opens on F and ends on F. Its chords belong to both Db major and Bbm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Bb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Gb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Ab (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = A (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 Bb minor side because Bbm is heard 5 times while Db never appears and the major V chord points straight at Bbm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 6 different chords appear 45 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Bbm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Db, the same F is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Bbm. Bb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Ebm F Dbii → V/vi Bbmiv → Viv → V ×4
- F Bbm DbV/vi → vi BbmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
- Ebm Bbm Dbii → vi Bbmiv → iminor plagal ×2
The move to watch is Ebm → F, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the Db side it reads ii → V/vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Db major pentatonic and Bb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Db – Eb – F – Ab – Bb): start from Db for a brighter phrase, from Bb for a bluesier one.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Gb, land on Gb, Bb, Db — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When F comes, swap the scale's Ab for A: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is F; the ear learns where home is within a second. F, Ebm, Gb, Bbm carry the song: V/vi–ii–IV–vi relative to Db, V–iv–VI–i relative to Bbm. F is the interesting twist: in Db it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Bbm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Ebm → F (ii → V/vi in Db, iv → V in Bbm): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. It closes on F, letting the Db side have the last word.
