Em                 Am
Mecburum biliyorsun dönüp gitmeye,
D       Bm          C    D   Em             
İçimde sensizlik biriktirmeye,
Em                   Am
Saçlarını yüzüme ser, son bir kez daha,
D        Bm        C    D    Em             
Belki çare olur yaralarımı sarmaya

Am                               Em  
Yanıma kar kalacak mı, bu gidiş? Bilemem
G          D            A          Em
Ama içimde sen kaldıysan, mutlu ölemem

Am                 Em
Aklımı geri ver, sende kalmasın,
G           D             C         Em
Başka vücutları sevip de, sen sanmasın
Am                  Em
Aklını geri al, ben de kalmasın,
G          D             C         Em
Başka vücutları sevip de, ben sanmasın

Em                     Am
Sözlerim artık yıllanmış bir şarap,
D      Bm             C     D   Em 
Ne söylesem buruk, ne söylesem kırmızı,
Em                   Am
Düşlerim virane, gülüşlerim harap,
D         Bm      C     D   Em 
Ne yapsam gitmez, kalır tortusu

Am                               Em  
Yanıma kar kalacak mı, bu gidiş? Bilemem
G          D            A          Em
Ama içimde sen kaldıysan, mutlu ölemem

Am                  Em
Aklımı geri ver, sende kalmasın,
G          D             C          Em
Başka vücutları sevip de, sen sanmasın
Am                  Em
Aklını geri al, ben de kalmasın,

Harmony analysis

Seksendört – Aklımı Geri Ver: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Em and ends on Em. 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 both starts and finishes on Em and Em is heard 20 times against 6 for G. 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). 7 different chords appear 64 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×6
D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×4
C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
C Em GIV → vi EmVI → iVI → i ×4

The move to watch is Am → Em, heard 6 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 Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D, land on D, F#, A — 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.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Em, D, Am, C — vi–V–ii–IV from the G side, i–VII–iv–VI from the Em side. A adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to D. Keep an ear on Am → Em (ii → vi in G, iv → i in Em): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Em, letting the Em 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.
