Özgür Babacan – Koryana Deresi: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ab and ends on Fm. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it comes to rest on Fm, it opens on Ab and Fm is heard 36 times against 8 for Ab. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 4 different chords appear 73 times in total; 4 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
- Bbm Fm Abii → vi Fmiv → iminor plagal ×12
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×12
The move to watch is Bbm → Fm, heard 12 times. From the Fm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Ab side it reads ii → vi. 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 Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

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