Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 6 different chords appear 72 times in total; 6 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
- Bbm7 Eb Abii7 → Vii → V Fmiv7 → VII ×8
- Eb Abmaj7 AbV → Imaj7authentic cadence FmVII → IIImaj7 ×4
- Dbmaj7 Eb AbIVmaj7 → VIV → V FmVImaj7 → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Dbmaj7 Fm7 AbIVmaj7 → vi7 FmVImaj7 → i7VI → i ×4
- Cm7 Fm7 Abiii7 → vi7 Fmv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is Bbm7 → Eb, heard 8 times. From the Ab side it reads ii7 → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Fm side it is iv7 → VII. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm7, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bbm7, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dbmaj7, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Fm7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Cm7, Bbm7, Dbmaj7, Eb carry the song: iii7–ii7–IVmaj7–V relative to Ab, v7–iv7–VImaj7–VII relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bbm7 → Eb (ii7 → V in Ab, iv7 → VII in Fm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on Abmaj7, letting the Ab 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.
