Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it comes to rest on Cm and Cm is heard 18 times against 12 for Eb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 48 times in total; 4 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 Fm → Cm, heard 6 times. From the Cm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Eb 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.
Starting on Fm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Cm, Fm, Eb, Bb — vi–ii–I–V from the Eb side, i–iv–III–VII from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fm → Cm (ii → vi in Eb, iv → i in Cm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
