Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 2 different chords appear 40 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
- E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (E – F# – G# – B – C#): start from E for a brighter phrase, from C# for a bluesier one.
- Over G#m7, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Amaj7, land on A, C#, E — 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
The opening G#m7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are G#m7, Amaj7; read them as iii7–IVmaj7 in E or v7–VImaj7 in C#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. The final chord is Amaj7; the ear comes to rest in E.
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.
