Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Gb major side because it opens on Gb and Gb is heard 9 times against 2 for Ebm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from Eb minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
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). 6 different chords appear 51 times in total; 6 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 Bmaj7 → Gbmaj7, heard 5 times. From the Gb side it reads IVmaj7 → Imaj7 (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Ebm side it is VImaj7 → IIImaj7. 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 Gbmaj7; the ear learns where home is within a second. Bbm7, Abm7, Gbmaj7, Bmaj7 carry the song: iii7–ii7–Imaj7–IVmaj7 relative to Gb, v7–iv7–IIImaj7–VImaj7 relative to Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bmaj7 → Gbmaj7 (IVmaj7 → Imaj7 in Gb, VImaj7 → IIImaj7 in Ebm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is Bbm7; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
