Harmony analysis
Gri – Olmaz: key and chord analysis
The song opens on E and ends on A. Its chords belong to both E major and C#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = A (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = B (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E major side because it opens on E and E is heard 4 times against 2 for C#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#m; 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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 6 different chords appear 30 times in total; 6 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
- B E EV → Iauthentic cadence C#mVII → III ×3
- F#m B Eii → Vii → V C#miv → VII ×3
- B C#m EV → videceptive cadence C#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- A B EIV → VIV → V C#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×2
The move to watch is B → E, heard 3 times. From the E side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the C#m side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (E – F# – G# – B – C#): start from E for a brighter phrase, from C# for a bluesier one.
- Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G#m, land on G#, B, D# — 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.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on E, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are A, G#m, F#m, B; read them as IV–iii–ii–V in E or VI–v–iv–VII in C#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on B → E (V → I in E, VII → III in C#m): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on A, letting the E side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
