Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 4 different chords appear 29 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G#m, A step outside the scale as colour chords.
Chord movement
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
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 Bm, land on B, D, F# — 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 G#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Bm, C, G#m, A — iii–IV–bii–II from the G side, v–VI–#iii–IV from the Em side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Ending on G#m, 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.
