Harmony analysis
Ufuk Beydemir – Çukur: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Fm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = B (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it comes to rest on Cm, Cm is heard 17 times while Eb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb 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 Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 48 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G7 / G is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm.
Chord movement
- Fm Cm Ebii → vi Cmiv → iminor plagal ×9
- G7 Cm EbV7/vi → visecondary resolution CmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×7
- Fm G7 Ebii → V7/vi Cmiv → V7iv → V ×7
- G Cm EbV/vi → vi CmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is Fm → Cm, heard 9 times. From the Cm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Eb side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G7, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When G comes, swap the scale's Bb for B: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Fm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Cm, Fm, G7, G carry the song: vi–ii–V7/vi–V/vi relative to Eb, i–iv–V7–V relative to Cm. G7 is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Fm → Cm (ii → vi in Eb, iv → i in Cm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
