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 4 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 16 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 Db → Ebm, heard 3 times. From the Ebm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Gb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Gb, lands on Ebm). 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. The chords that keep coming back are Ebm, Db, B, Bbm; read them as vi–V–IV–iii in Gb or i–VII–VI–v in Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Db → Ebm (V → vi in Gb, VII → i in Ebm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Bbm; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
