Harmony analysis
Palmiyeler – Sadece Sen: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em7 and ends on C#m7. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = E (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because F#m is heard 16 times while A never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A 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 A or to F#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 A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 5 different chords appear 56 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Em7 step outside the scale as colour chords.
Chord movement
- C#m7 F#m7 Aiii7 → vi7 F#mv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×10
The move to watch is C#m7 → F#m7, heard 10 times. From the F#m side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the A side it reads iii7 → vi7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
- Over C#m7, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m7, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm7, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Em7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are C#m7, F#m7, Bm7, E; read them as iii7–vi7–ii7–V in A or v7–i7–iv7–VII in F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C#m7 → F#m7 (iii7 → vi7 in A, v7 → i7 in F#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on C#m7, letting the A 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.
