D        F#m            Bm           A
Efkarlanma deli gönlüm, her güzeli yar mı sandın

Çekme için derin derin, her dikeni gül mü sandın

D         F#m         Bm         A
Gözlerde arama sırrı, her bakışı ok mu sandın

Kuruş etmez bu sevdalar, sen bunları aşk mı sandın
G         A         Em       F#m
Seviyorum deme ile dağlar mı deldi sandın

D       F#m            Bm         A
Sırtımdaki onca yükü, al bakalım az mı sandın

Omuz vermez bu zalimler, düşsen tutarlar mı sandın

D         F#m           Bm           A
Buraların kışı bitmez, düş demeyle cemre düşmez

Dert çekecek yar lazım, ömür huysuz ile geçmez
G         A          Em              F#m
Kuruş etmez bu sevdalar, sen bunları aşk mı sandın

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 6 different chords appear 44 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

A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
F#m Bm Diii → vi Bmv → inatural-minor cadence ×4
G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×3

The move to watch is A → Bm, heard 4 times. From the D side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected D, lands on Bm); from the Bm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is D; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are F#m, A, Bm, Em; read them as iii–V–vi–ii in D or v–VII–i–iv in Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on A → Bm (V → vi in D, VII → i in Bm): deceptive cadence — expected D, lands on Bm. The final chord is F#m; the ear comes to rest in D.

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.
