Zihnim bi sussa
O kadar sussa ki
Sonunda kalbimi duysam
Aklıma yatsa
Ardımda bıraktığım
O küçük çocuğun yanına yol alsam

Bi varsam, ya bi yoksam
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Bi doğsam yine küllerimden, doğsam

Bi bulsam

İçimdeki kayıp ormanı

Bi denizime karışsam

Huuu

Nasılsa bulurum yolumu

Ulaşırım içimdeki derin yeşillere

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A major side because it both starts and finishes on A and A is heard 10 times while F#m never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; 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 A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 4 different chords appear 18 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.
The move to watch is Dmaj7 → Amaj7, heard 6 times. From the A side it reads IVmaj7 → Imaj7 (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the F#m side it is VImaj7 → IIImaj7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The first chord is A; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Amaj7, Dmaj7, A, D; read them as Imaj7–IVmaj7–I–IV in A or IIImaj7–VImaj7–III–VI in F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dmaj7 → Amaj7 (IVmaj7 → Imaj7 in A, VImaj7 → IIImaj7 in F#m): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. It closes on Amaj7, letting the A 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.
