Harmony analysis
Şebnem Ferah – Yağmurlar: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em and ends on Em. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em and Em is heard 14 times against 1 for G. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 6 different chords appear 43 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
- C D GIV → VIV → V EmVI → VIIVI → VII ×12
- D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×11
- Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×1
The move to watch is C → D, heard 12 times. From the Em side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the G side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — 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.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On F, follow the chord's notes (F · A · C) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em, C, D, Am carry the song: vi–IV–V–ii relative to G, i–VI–VII–iv relative to Em. F briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on C → D (IV → V in G, VI → VII in Em): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in Em.
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.
