Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because Ab is heard 10 times against 4 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 7 different chords appear 66 times in total; 7 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 Eb → Fm7, heard 4 times. From the Ab side it reads V → vi7 (deceptive cadence: expected Ab, lands on Fm); from the Fm side it is VII → i7 (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home). 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 Dbmaj7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Cm7, Bbm7, Abmaj7, Dbmaj7; read them as iii7–ii7–Imaj7–IVmaj7 in Ab or v7–iv7–IIImaj7–VImaj7 in Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Eb → Fm7 (V → vi7 in Ab, VII → i7 in Fm): deceptive cadence — expected Ab, lands on Fm. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Ab.
