Harmony analysis
Zeynep Bastık – Deniz Tuzu: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em7 and ends on Bm7. 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)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it opens on Em and Em is heard 9 times while G never appears. 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.

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). 4 different chords appear 36 times in total; 4 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
- Bm7 Em7 Giii7 → vi7 Emv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×8
The move to watch is Bm7 → Em7, heard 8 times. From the Em side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the G side it reads iii7 → vi7. 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 Em7, land on E, G, B — 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.
- Over Cmaj7, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Em7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em7, D, Cmaj7, Bm7 carry the song: vi7–V–IVmaj7–iii7 relative to G, i7–VII–VImaj7–v7 relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm7 → Em7 (iii7 → vi7 in G, v7 → i7 in Em): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is Bm7; the ear comes to rest in G.
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.
