Am Ben buradan ayrılmam, şaşmadan pusulam Geceler farksızdır, kancık bir pusudan E Sevdik de katlandık, inan her bokuna Hepimiz ölcez de, gömün beni çukura Am Eğer seninki ayazsa, inan bizim ki ömür değil Yaktık geçtiğin her yanını, yanan bu gençlik kömür değil E Her yanlış eder bir mermi, bu da sanma ki kimseye ödül değil Düşman saplasa hançerini, dostum var bu da bize ölüm değil Am Koşarız ölüme bu da sorun değil, çukurdayız baba eğilmeyin Rüzgar döndürüyor bu değirmeni, kurudu gözlerimdeki nehirlerin E Kimseye satmam zehirlerim kendimi, mahalle bizim kesin Çukura düştü diye sevinmeyin, anne karnında gibi evimdeyin Am Ben buradan ayrılmam, şaşmadan pusulam Geceler farksızdır, kancık bir pusudan E Sevdik de katlandık, inan her bokuna Hepimiz ölcez de, gömün beni çukura Am E Hep üstüm toz avcumda köz, yeminim var ve namus söz G F Elimde kan gözümde yaş, ben yoruldum gelip de çöz Am E Hep üstüm toz avcumda köz, yeminim var ve namus söz G F Elimde kan gözümde yaş, sarmaşıktım gelip de çöz

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, Am is heard 6 times while C never appears and the major V chord points straight at Am. 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.
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.

The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 4 different chords appear 14 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Am brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from C, the same E is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Am.
The move to watch is E → Am, heard 4 times. From the Am side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the C side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The first chord is Am; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Am, E, G, F; read them as vi–V/vi–V–IV in C or i–V–VII–VI in Am. E is the interesting twist: in C it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Am it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on E → Am (V/vi → vi in C, V → i in Am): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on E, the song seals C as home.
