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 15 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 38 times in total; 3 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 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm.
The move to watch is D7 → Gm, heard 10 times. From the Gm side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Bb side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: D7 resolves a fourth up to Gm). 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 Gm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Gm, D7, Adim, Eb — vi–V7/vi–vii°–IV from the Bb side, i–V7–ii°–VI from the Gm side. 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 D7 → Gm (V7/vi → vi in Bb, V7 → i in Gm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. The final chord is Gm; the ear comes to rest in Gm.
