Harmony analysis
Ebru Gündeş – Fırtınalar: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Fm and ends on Fm. 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)
- #7 = E (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 F minor side because it both starts and finishes on Fm, Fm is heard 18 times against 1 for Ab and the major V chord points straight at Fm. 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.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 5 different chords appear 32 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Ab, the same C is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Fm.
Chord movement
- C Fm AbV/vi → vi FmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×7
- Bbm Fm Abii → vi Fmiv → iminor plagal ×3
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×1
The move to watch is C → Fm, heard 7 times. From the Fm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Ab side it reads V/vi → 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 Fm, land on F, Ab, C — 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 Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When C comes, swap the scale's Eb for E: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Fm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Fm, C, Bbm, Eb — vi–V/vi–ii–V from the Ab side, i–V–iv–VII from the Fm side. C is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on C → Fm (V/vi → vi in Ab, V → i in Fm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Fm, letting the Fm side have the last word.
