Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm and Cm is heard 14 times against 13 for Eb. 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). 4 different chords appear 53 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 Ab → Eb, heard 9 times. From the Cm side it is VI → III; from the Eb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending). 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 Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, Ab, Eb, Gm; read them as vi–IV–I–iii in Eb or i–VI–III–v in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Eb (IV → I in Eb, VI → III in Cm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is Gm; the ear comes to rest in Eb.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
