Harmony analysis
Sibel Can – Padişah: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 6 times against 2 for Ab. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 5 different chords appear 27 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×3
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×1
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 3 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Cm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Eb, Cm, Fm, Bb; read them as V–iii–vi–V/V in Ab or VII–v–i–IV in Fm. Bb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to Eb. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab side have the last word.
