Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it comes to rest on Gm and Gm is heard 26 times while Bb never appears. 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). 3 different chords appear 52 times in total; 3 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 Cm → Gm, heard 13 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.
Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Gm, Cm, Dm — vi–ii–iii from the Bb side, i–iv–v from the Gm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm → Gm (ii → vi in Bb, iv → i in Gm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Gm, letting the Gm side have the last word.
