G#m
Nasıl bir vurgun bu nasıl bir ceza
A
Gülmeyen şu kaderime saygı duruşu mu aşk
G#m
Elbet acıtır canı her ayrılık ama
A
Bu yürek görmedi böyle bir veda

        G#m
Biz hep dağ gibi durmuştuk siper olduk dev gibi dalgalara
      A
Artık kopsa ne olacak fırtınalar, şu dünya dursa ya da
          G#m
Susma bir şeyler söyle el gibi bakma bana
         A                                             G#m
Ne varsa yoksa götürüyor senden kalan küskünüm her sabaha

        G#m                                       A
Bir sen yoksun, geliyor sensizlik üzerime üzerime korktum

Her gece seni sordum
         G#m                                             A
Ardından koştum, kalmadı ne kolum ne kanadım her tarafım yorgun

Ama boşver olsun

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). 3 different chords appear 17 times in total; 3 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#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening G#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. G#m, A, F#m carry the song: iii–IV–ii relative to E, v–VI–iv relative to C#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on A, letting the E side have the last word.

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.
