Analysis
The key pair is Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 62 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
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
- Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
- Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — 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 Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Ab, Gm, Fm, Bb — IV–iii–ii–V from the Eb side, VI–v–iv–VII from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Ending on Gm, the song seals Eb as home.
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.
