C#m  D

C#m                    D             C#m
 Uçurumlardan bıraktım omzumdaki naaşı
          D            C#m
Silemeden gözümdeki yaşı
                    D              C#m
Yine benim yüzümden göğsündeki sancı
          D           C#m
Ölene dek evimde kiracı

C#m                         D
Bu saatten sonra gülüm gelme kendine
C#m                         D
Zaten hep cenazede her günüm kendi evimde
      C#m                          D
Otuza iki basarken tuz misali doğum günümde
       C#m                        D
Yarama sanki düşmanım harcanan kendi kendime

      C#m                 D
Gelip bir gün bile kalsan can evimde
   C#m                 D
Yalnız değilsin kimler var peşinde
C#m                  D
Kararttığın bu dünyanın köşesinde
C#m         D
Ben sandığın gölgelerle

     C#m
Beni kurtar bu demir parmaklıktan
        D
Yine bu hücrede yalnızlık var
C#m                       D
Beni sakladığın yerleri sana söyletmek için yalvarmışlar
C#m                          D
Beni ele vermez sandım gönlün onu bile kandırmışlar
C#m                         D
Çoktan sönmüş güneşim sensin diye beni kör sanmışlar

C#m             D
 Beni bulamazlar artık saçlarında
C#m            D
 Olamamak kokunda ne acı
C#m              D
 Seni bulamazlar, aktın yanağımdan
C#m                 D
 Silemeden gözümdeki yaşı

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

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.

Analysis

The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 2 different chords appear 43 times in total; 2 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

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.

Improvisation tips

A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
Over C#m, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song on the circle of fifths

Played in the song — chord of the key

The song's harmonic story

Starting on C#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are C#m, D; read them as iii–IV in A or v–VI in F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on D, 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.
