Chord degrees: major and relative minor

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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 2 different chords appear 18 times in total; 1 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Db is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
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
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On Db, follow the chord's notes (Db · F · Ab) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.
The song on the circle of fifths
- Played in the song — chord of the key

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Db; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Db, Cm; read them as bIII–ii in Bb or #IV–iv in Gm. Db briefly darkens the picture: borrowed from the parallel minor. Ending on Db, the song seals Bb 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.
