Harmony analysis
Murat Dalkılıç – Bu Gece: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em and ends on Em. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = D# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em, Em is heard 15 times against 7 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 6 different chords appear 55 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.
Chord movement
- B Em GV/vi → vi EmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×7
- Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×5
- Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×4
- D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×3
- C Em GIV → vi EmVI → iVI → i ×2
The move to watch is B → Em, heard 7 times. From the Em side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the G side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — 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.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When B comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Em, Am, D, B — vi–ii–V–V/vi from the G side, i–iv–VII–V from the Em side. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on B → Em (V/vi → vi in G, V → i in Em): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in Em.
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.
