Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because Dm is heard 6 times against 1 for F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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.

The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 6 different chords appear 38 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.
The move to watch is Gm → C, heard 5 times. From the Dm side it is iv → VII; from the F side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is Am; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Am, Gm, C, Dm; read them as iii–ii–V–vi in F or v–iv–VII–i in Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → C (ii → V in F, iv → VII in Dm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on Am, letting the F 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.
