Fmaj7
Bilemedim aman
                  Em7
Niye böyle yakar anılar

Ah ulan anılar
Fmaj7
Bu benim hatam da
                Em7
Çıkmaz kafamdan anılar

Kapalı kapılar

Fmaj7
Kapalı kapılar

Bu gece bilemem nerdeyim nerde
Em7
Havada dolunay var

Bana dokunmayın yerdeyim yerde
Fmaj7
Cevapsız sorular

Karanlık odalar göremem bende
Em7
Bi kesim olgular var ya var ya

Değişir doğrular, gerçeğim gerçek

Fmaj7
Olmazdı, belli yerin dolmazdı
             Em7
Aklım sağlam kalmazdı

Kimse böyle sarmazdı
Fmaj7
Olmazsın, sen yanımda kalmazdın
          Em7
Yeterince kurnazdın

Hiç sözünde durmaz

Fmaj7
Bilemedim aman
                  Em7
Niye böyle yakar anılar

Ah ulan anılar
Fmaj7
Bu benim hatam da
                Em7
Çıkmaz kafamdan anılar

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to C or to Am; 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 C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 2 different chords appear 16 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

C major pentatonic and A minor pentatonic are the same five notes (C – D – E – G – A): start from C for a brighter phrase, from A for a bluesier one.
Over Fmaj7, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Em7, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Fmaj7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Fmaj7, Em7; read them as IVmaj7–iii7 in C or VImaj7–v7 in Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Em7, letting the C 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.
