        Am        G      F
Hazırlanmış bir yere gidiyor gibisin
          Am     Em        F 
Benim her yerde elim kolum var
         Am           G          F
Bilmez misin yüzüm düşmüş kaç gündür düşünüyorum
Dm                  Em
 Tenhalaştı kahvaltılarımız
F
 Bomboş bakıyoruz artık
Dm           G           Am
 Bir bildiğin var da susuyor gibisin

   Dm        G             Am
Ki sen benim gözyaşlarımı da gördün
Dm        G          Am
Sen benim ilk aldığım güldün

Am         Em
Heyecanını kaybetmişsin
G            F
Yok inancını kaybetmişsin
Dm              
Doya doya sarmamışım
G
Bize çok günah etmişsin

Harmony analysis

Yalın – Ki Sen: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Am and ends on G. Its chords belong to both C major and Am, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

C major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = B (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = F (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

A minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = F (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = G (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it opens on Am and Am is heard 7 times while C never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C 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 C or to Am; 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 C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 5 different chords appear 27 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

Dm G Cii → Vii → V Amiv → VII ×4
G Am CV → videceptive cadence AmVII → iAeolian arrival ×3
F Am CIV → vi AmVI → iVI → i ×2

The move to watch is Dm → G, heard 4 times. From the Am side it is iv → VII; from the C side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

C major pentatonic and A minor pentatonic are the same five notes (C – D – E – G – A): start from C for a brighter phrase, from A for a bluesier one.
Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over G, land on G, B, D — 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.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, G, F, Dm — vi–V–IV–ii from the C side, i–VII–VI–iv from the Am side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dm → G (ii → V in C, iv → VII in Am): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is G; the ear comes to rest in C.
