Harmony analysis
Sevgi Başar – His (Togay Özyay): key and chord analysis
The song opens on Bm and ends on A. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
B minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = A (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it opens on Bm and Bm is heard 5 times while D never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D 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 D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 7 different chords appear 30 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. C is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
- G Bm DIV → vi BmVI → iVI → i ×2
- A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
- G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×1
The move to watch is G → Bm, heard 2 times. From the Bm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the D side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
- Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On C, follow the chord's notes (C · E · G) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. C, G, Am, Bm carry the song: bVII–IV–v–vi relative to D, bII–VI–vii–i relative to Bm. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to A. Keep an ear on G → Bm (IV → vi in D, VI → i in Bm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on A, letting the D 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.
