Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm and Ebm is heard 12 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Gb or to Ebm; 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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 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 Bbm → Ebm, heard 11 times. From the Ebm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Gb side it reads iii → 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 Ebm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Ebm, Db, Abm, Bbm carry the song: vi–V–ii–iii relative to Gb, i–VII–iv–v relative to Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bbm → Ebm (iii → vi in Gb, v → i in Ebm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Bbm, letting the Gb side have the last word.
