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, Cm is heard 16 times while Eb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Cm. 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). 7 different chords appear 54 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm. C7 acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is G7 → Cm, heard 10 times. From the Cm side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Eb side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: G7 resolves a fourth up to Cm). 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 Abmaj7; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, G7, Fm, Abmaj7; read them as vi–V7/vi–ii–IVmaj7 in Eb or i–V7–iv–VImaj7 in Cm. G7 is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on G7 → Cm (V7/vi → vi in Eb, V7 → i in Cm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Cm, letting the Cm side have the last word.
