E minor (Em, Mim) is a minor scale based on the note E. The E natural minor scale (
♭
♭
♭
) consists of the pitches E, F♯, G, A, B, C, and D. The E harmonic minor scale (
♭
♭
) contains the natural 7, D♯, rather than the flatted 7, D – to align with the major dominant chord, B7 (B D♯ F♯ A).
Its key signature has one sharp, F (see below: Scales and keys).
Its relative major is G major, and its parallel major is E major.
Much of the classical guitar repertoire is in E minor, as this is a very natural key for the instrument. In standard tuning (E A D G B E), four of the instrument's six 'open' (unfretted) strings are part of the tonic chord. The key of E minor is also extremely popular in heavy metal music, as its tonic is the lowest note on a standard-tuned guitar.

I forgot something of younger days
When there were no cares
And clouds appear lit that
Made me ask how their
Lives could have been spent
Carelessly wasting our day
Inquires of what is the way
With no reply
And when you were young
There's a lightness surrounds you
The world turns
When you take back
All the things that you've earned
You found nothing at all
Carelessly wasting our day
Inquires of what is the way
With no reply
Where did it go now
All that you thought was well defined
It's all but become just
A passing thought in spite
Don't let it go now
Our lives could be much more than this
