Harmony analysis
Chingiz Mustafayev – Truth (Original Version): key and chord analysis
The song opens on G#m and ends on C#m. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because it opens on G#m and G#m is heard 17 times against 14 for B. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B 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 B or to G#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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 5 different chords appear 64 times in total; 5 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
- C#m G#m Bii → vi G#miv → iminor plagal ×12
- F# G#m BV → videceptive cadence G#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- E F# BIV → VIV → V G#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
The move to watch is C#m → G#m, heard 12 times. From the G#m side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the B side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over G#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B, 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 G#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are G#m, E, B, C#m; read them as vi–IV–I–ii in B or i–VI–III–iv in G#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C#m → G#m (ii → vi in B, iv → i in G#m): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is C#m; the ear comes to rest in B.
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.
