C Em Bu sabah bu çehremi düşüreen bir sebep olur C Em Ben bilmedim hagi soru bunu bulur F Belki de bir umut olur Em Benim sonuma son bulur F Em Benimle ölür benimle can bulur C Ben onu her gün sularım Em Mevsimlere tek tek yaşatıp C Sahilin ucunu da biz kuşatıp Em Salarız gemilere yakarıp F Bu mutluluk yarın da yaşanır Em Bırak bugün bugün de kalsın F Em Sen yarınlara layıksın C Em Yarını bıraktım ben yolar da ben C Em Sana koştum adımlarla ben bak geldim F Bu mutluluk yarın da yaşanır Em Bırak bugün bugün de kalsın F Em Sen yarınlara layıksın

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C major side because it opens on C and C is heard 6 times while Am never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from A minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to C or to Am; 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.

The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 3 different chords appear 24 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
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.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Em, C, F — iii–I–IV from the C side, v–III–VI from the Am side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Em, letting the C side have the last word.
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.
