Harmony analysis
Erol Evgin – Aldım Başımı Gidiyorum (Candan Erçetin): key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on D. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.
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: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it opens on Gm, Gm is heard 16 times against 6 for Bb and the major V chord points straight at Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

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). 6 different chords appear 66 times in total; 5 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.
Chord movement
- Cm D Bbii → V/vi Gmiv → Viv → V ×9
- D Gm BbV/vi → vi GmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×8
- F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×2
- Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×2
- Cm F Bbii → Vii → V Gmiv → VII ×2
The move to watch is Cm → D, heard 9 times. From the Gm side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the Bb side it reads ii → V/vi. 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 Gm, land on G, Bb, D — 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.
- 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
The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Cm, Gm, D, D# — ii–vi–V/vi–IV from the Bb side, iv–i–V–VI from the Gm side. 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 → D (ii → V/vi in Bb, iv → V in Gm): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. Ending on D, the song seals Bb as home.
