Am                      Gm
Yanıyor içim dışım bi garip halde
                          C   Bb    Am
Ne sözüm geçer ne gücüm yeter bu kalbe
Am                     Gm
Yolunu çizmiş çoktan düşünmeden sonunu
                         C    Bb   Am
Bilmiyor bu aşk yakacak onu pare pare

Am                              Dm
Tutulduğum sakıncalı bir sevgiliye
       Gm        C   Bb      Am
Zarardasın ey kalbim dön geriye

Am                                 Gm
Al tanrım aklımı ki zaten ben de değil
          Dm          Gm          Am
Al Tanrım kalbimi bu aşk hakkım değil

Harmony analysis

Gülşen – Sakıncalı: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Am and ends on Am. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

F major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = E (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Bb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

D minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = C (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because Dm is heard 2 times while F never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 5 different chords appear 21 times in total; 5 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

Gm C Fii → Vii → V Dmiv → VII ×3
Gm Dm Fii → vi Dmiv → iminor plagal ×1
Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1

The move to watch is Gm → C, heard 3 times. From the Dm side it is iv → VII; from the F side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

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

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Am; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Am, Gm, C, Bb — iii–ii–V–IV from the F side, v–iv–VII–VI from the Dm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → C (ii → V in F, iv → VII in Dm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is Am; the ear comes to rest in F.
