Minor view
G minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = F# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between Bb major and G minor because Bb is heard 4 times against 2 for Gm and the major V chord points straight at Gm. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 8 different chords appear 30 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm. G acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Cm F Bbii → Vii → V Gmiv → VII ×4
- F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×2
- F A# BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×2
- D Gm BbV/vi → vi GmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×2
- Cm D Bbii → V/vi Gmiv → Viv → V ×2
The move to watch is Cm → F, heard 4 times. From the Bb side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Gm side it is iv → VII. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over D#, land on D#, G, A# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When D comes, swap the scale's F for F#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Cm, D#, F, D carry the song: ii–IV–V–V/vi relative to Bb, iv–VI–VII–V relative to Gm. D is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Cm → F (ii → V in Bb, iv → VII in Gm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on G, letting the Bb side have the last word.
