Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 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
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×4
- Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×4
- Bbm Fm Abii → vi Fmiv → iminor plagal ×2
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is Eb → Ab, heard 4 times. From the Ab side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Fm side it is VII → III. 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 Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — 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 Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Bbm, Cm, Fm, Eb — ii–iii–vi–V from the Ab side, iv–v–i–VII from the Fm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Eb → Ab (V → I in Ab, VII → III in Fm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab side have the last word.
