Em
Dün gibi yaşananlar
       Bm
Film gibi gözümün önünde hatıralar
        Em
Savurdu ayrı yollara kader
         Bm
Bize yazılan ayrı düşen hayatlar

C                     Bm
Şimdiki aklım olsaydı ertelemezdim
        Am                   Bm
İhmal etmezdim anı biriktirmeyi

     Em
Seni öpe koklaya, kokunu içime çeke çeke

Yüreğini yüreğime saramadım ya
Bm               Am
Ona yanarım, yanarım ki ne yanarım

      Em
Koyup elimi eline, bakıp gözüne son bir kere

Canını canıma sıkıca saramadım ya
Bm               Am
Ona yanarım, yanarım ki ne yanarım

Em
An bu an, vakit bugün, sev hadi gönlüm
Bm                   Am
Yarını meçhul ömrün, dönmüyor giden

Em
Olmasın aşksın günün, çağla deli gönlüm
Bm                 Am
Sayılı yılı ömrün, dönmüyor giden

C                     Bm
Şimdiki aklım olsaydı ertelemezdim
        Am                   Bm
İhmal etmezdim anı biriktirmeyi
C                  Bm
Vız gelirdi bana aklın bütün ezberleri
   Am                  Bm
Dinlerdim kalbimin sesini

     Em
Seni öpe koklaya, kokunu içime çeke çeke

Yüreğini yüreğime saramadım ya
Bm               Am
Ona yanarım, yanarım ki ne yanarım

      Em
Koyup elimi eline, bakıp gözüne son bir kere

Canını canıma sıkıca saramadım ya
Bm               Am
Ona yanarım, yanarım ki ne yanarım

Harmony analysis

Tarkan – Dönmüyor Giden: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = F# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = C (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

E minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

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

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it opens on Em and Em is heard 8 times while G never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 4 different chords appear 34 times in total; 4 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

Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×4
Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×3

The move to watch is Am → Em, heard 4 times. From the Em side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the G side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

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

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Bm, Am, Em, C — iii–ii–vi–IV from the G side, v–iv–i–VI from the Em side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Am → Em (ii → vi in G, iv → i in Em): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Am, letting the G 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.
