Harmony analysis

Osman Efe Ceyhan – Terk Et: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Em7 and ends on Em7. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

  • 7 = F# (leading tone, pulls home)
  • 4 = C (the note that leans on the 3rd)

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 9 times while G never appears 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 25 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 B7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em. C7 step outside the scale as colour chords.

Chord movement

  1. B7 Em7 GV7/vi → vi7secondary resolution EmV7 → i7harmonic-minor cadence ×5
  2. Am B7 Gii → V7/vi Emiv → V7iv → V ×2
  3. C7 Em7 GIV7 → vi7 EmVI7 → i7VI → i ×2

The move to watch is B7 → Em7, heard 5 times. From the Em side it is V7 → i7 (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the G side it reads V7/vi → vi7 (secondary resolution: B7 resolves a fourth up to Em7). 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 Em7, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over B7, land on B, D#, F# — 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.
  • When B7 comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song on the circle of fifths

  • Played in the song — chord of the key
  • Played — the minor's harmonic V or a secondary dominant
  • Played — borrowed or outside chord
  • Home region: IV–I–V and ii–vi–iii

    The song's harmonic story

    The opening Em7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Em7, B7, Am, C; read them as vi7–V7/vi–ii–IV in G or i7–V7–iv–VI in Em. B7 is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on B7 → Em7 (V7/vi → vi7 in G, V7 → i7 in Em): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Em7, letting the Em 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.
