Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it both starts and finishes on Gm, Gm is heard 18 times while Bb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 4 different chords appear 33 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D7 / D is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm.
The move to watch is Cm → Gm, heard 8 times. From the Gm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Bb side it reads ii → vi. 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 opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Gm, Cm, D7, D; read them as vi–ii–V7/vi–V/vi in Bb or i–iv–V7–V in Gm. D7 is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Cm → Gm (ii → vi in Bb, iv → i in Gm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Gm; the ear comes to rest in Gm.
