Harmony analysis
Merve Özbey – Topsuz Tüfeksiz: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on F#. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because G#m is heard 4 times while B never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 4 different chords appear 18 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
- Ebm Abm Biii → vi G#mv → inatural-minor cadence ×4
- E F# BIV → VIV → V G#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×2
The move to watch is Ebm → Abm, heard 4 times. From the G#m side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the B side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Abm, land on Ab, Cb, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Ebm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Ebm, E, Abm, F# carry the song: iii–IV–vi–V relative to B, v–VI–i–VII relative to G#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ebm → Abm (iii → vi in B, v → i in G#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on F#, the song seals B 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.
