Ebm
Uzun bir yolculukta, denizi görmek adın
B
Mirasın bu kokuyla baş edemez hiç bir yanım
Koşar adım, koşar adım uzağına bu volkanın
Db
Dayanamaz, kül olurum can verir bu sol yanım
Ebm B
Alınyazım haketmedin sana yaptıklarımı
Ebm B
Vur yüzüme günahları korkup kaçtıklarımı
Utanırım utanırım gözlerimde yaş oldun
Db Ebm
Üzülme sevgilim gülümse şarkı oldun bugün
Abm Ebm
Geçmişin elleri yakamda
Db B
Ve her gece buluyor beni odamda
B Ebm
Her yolu denedim son bulmuyor
Bbm
İçimin yangını
B
Sesimin argını
Ebm
Her sonu göreni öldürmüyor
Bbm
Bir amaç verdin bana
B
Dinle ama ağlama
Yolun ortasında yürüyeceksen
Ters yöne doğru
Arkana bakmak zor iş çünkü
Dedi ki, ararsan, kalbine bak!
Dedi ki, ölmen gerek belki bi'kaç defa
Ben de yaşamak denen şeyi saksıya gömdüm
Ama filiz verdi
Eb
En iyi sen tanırsın aşk kokan şarkıları
B
Kah öldük kah öldürdük yaşadık aşkı kadın
Zaman geçer ecel çeker kollarımdan yanına
Db Ebm
Biraz üzül, biraz ağla n'olur iyi hatırla beni

Harmony analysis
Çağan Şengül – Gülümse Şarkı Oldun: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on Ebm. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Ebm and Ebm is heard 11 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 6 different chords appear 32 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Eb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Db Ebm GbV → videceptive cadence EbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- B Ebm GbIV → vi EbmVI → iVI → i ×4
- B Db GbIV → VIV → V EbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Abm Ebm Gbii → vi Ebmiv → iminor plagal ×1
The move to watch is Db → Ebm, heard 4 times. From the Ebm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Gb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Gb, lands on Ebm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Ebm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Ebm, B, Db, Bbm carry the song: vi–IV–V–iii relative to Gb, i–VI–VII–v relative to Ebm. Eb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Abm. Keep an ear on Db → Ebm (V → vi in Gb, VII → i in Ebm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Ebm; the ear comes to rest in Ebm.
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.
