Unutulur mu gökyüzü, yitirir miyim bu gül yüzü

Birer birer neyim kalır geriye baksam da

Zehirlendi dudaklarım, çocukken nasıl ağlardım

Harmony analysis
Hayko Cepkin – Ölüyorum: 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)
- #7 = D# (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 E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em, Em is heard 14 times against 4 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. 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). 5 different chords appear 35 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em. F#m step outside the scale as colour chords.
Chord movement
- Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×9
The move to watch is Am → Em, heard 9 times. From the Em side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the G side it reads ii → vi. 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 Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When B comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em, Am, F#m, G carry the song: vi–ii–vii–I relative to G, i–iv–ii–III relative to Em. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Am → Em (ii → vi in G, iv → i in Em): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Em, the song seals Em as home.
