C                         Bb
 Yamacımda bir kurt ölmüş aşktan
                A
Gel biz kaçalım burdan
               Gm
Dağlara çıkalım ağırdan yavaş
C                     Bb
 Deli divane olmuştur belki
                A
Belki de canına değdi
               Gm          A
Belli ki başını eğdi, yavaş yavaş

  Gm              A
E onun adına yalan derler

C                        Bb
Yamacımda bir kurt ölmüş aşktan
                A
Gel biz kaçalım burdan
                Gm
Dağlara çıkalım ağırdan yavaş
C                       Bb
 Seni soranlara iyiydin derdim
                 A
Belki de yanılan bendim
              Gm            A
Bellki daralan sendin, yavaş yavaş

  Gm              A
E onun adına yalan derler

Harmony analysis

Duman – Yalan: key and chord analysis

The song opens on C and ends on A. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

F major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = E (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Bb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

D minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
#7 = C# (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 D minor side because the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F 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 F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 4 different chords appear 22 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull.

Chord movement

Gm A Fii → III Dmiv → Viv → V ×4
Gm C Fii → Vii → V Dmiv → VII ×2

The move to watch is Gm → A, heard 4 times. From the Dm side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the F side it reads ii → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When A comes, swap the scale's C for C#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. A, Gm, C, Bb carry the song: III–ii–V–IV relative to F, V–iv–VII–VI relative to Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (III), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Gm → A (ii → III in F, iv → V in Dm): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. The final chord is A; the ear comes to rest in F.
