Harmony analysis
Nev – Yokum: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on Bb. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (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 Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm, Ebm is heard 40 times while Gb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Ebm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Gb or to Ebm; 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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 4 different chords appear 125 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Ebm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Gb, the same Bb is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Ebm.
Chord movement
- Bb Ebm GbV/vi → vi EbmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×31
- Abm Bb Gbii → V/vi Ebmiv → Viv → V ×14
- Abm Ebm Gbii → vi Ebmiv → iminor plagal ×6
The move to watch is Bb → Ebm, heard 31 times. From the Ebm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Gb side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Abm, land on Ab, Cb, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When Bb comes, swap the scale's Db for D: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Ebm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Ebm, Bb, Abm, B carry the song: vi–V/vi–ii–IV relative to Gb, i–V–iv–VI relative to Ebm. Bb is the interesting twist: in Gb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Ebm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Bb → Ebm (V/vi → vi in Gb, V → i in Ebm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on Bb, the song seals Gb as home.
