Harmony analysis
Onur Koç – Elini Tutmasam: key and chord analysis
The song opens on D#m and ends on A#m. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm and Ebm is heard 13 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb 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 Gb or to Ebm; 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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 5 different chords appear 44 times in total; 5 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
- A#m D#m Gbiii → vi Ebmv → inatural-minor cadence ×8
- C# D#m GbV → videceptive cadence EbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- G#m C# Gbii → Vii → V Ebmiv → VII ×4
The move to watch is A#m → D#m, heard 8 times. From the Ebm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Gb side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over D#m, land on D#, F#, A# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A#m, land on A#, C#, E# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C#, land on C#, E#, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on D#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are D#m, A#m, C#, G#m; read them as vi–iii–V–ii in Gb or i–v–VII–iv in Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on A#m → D#m (iii → vi in Gb, v → i in Ebm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on A#m, the song seals Gb as home.
