Cm  Ab  Bb  Gm7

Cm               Ab
Sen benim hayallerimdeki o insan
Bb                  Gm7
Ben senin hiç bir şeyin
Cm                 Ab
Ben seni günlerce, aylarca, yıllarca
Bb              Gm7
Bir ömür bekleyenin

Cm 
Dert misin derman mı
Ab
Gerçek mi rüya mı
Bb                 Gm7
Yoksa büyük bir hatamı
 
Cm
Ah olaydın yar olaydın
Ab
Derdime derman olaydın
Bb                Gm7
Ne olur benim olaydın

Cm                Ab             Fm
Aynı gök yüzüne bakan iki farklı şehir gibi
Ab                   Gm7
Ya da hiç buluşmayan geceyle gündüz gibi
Cm                Ab          Fm
Keske senle kavuşsak yağmurla toprak gibi
Ab                   Gm7               Cm
Ruhumda hasretin var sanki bin yılmış gibi

Harmony analysis

Nigar Muharrem – Derdime Derman: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Eb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = D (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Ab (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

C minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it both starts and finishes on Cm and Cm is heard 8 times while Eb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb 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 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). 5 different chords appear 31 times in total; 5 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

Gm7 Cm Ebiii7 → vi Cmv7 → inatural-minor cadence ×7
Ab Bb EbIV → VIV → V CmVI → VIIVI → VII ×5

The move to watch is Gm7 → Cm, heard 7 times. From the Cm side it is v7 → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Eb side it reads iii7 → vi. 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 Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — 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 Gm7, land on G, Bb, D — 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 Ab, Cm, Gm7, Bb — IV–vi–iii7–V from the Eb side, VI–i–v7–VII from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm7 → Cm (iii7 → vi in Eb, v7 → i in Cm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.

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.
