Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it opens on Fm, Fm is heard 13 times while Ab never appears and the major V chord points straight at Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 6 different chords appear 52 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Ab, the same C is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Fm.
The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 7 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab 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.
Starting on Fm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, Fm, C, Eb; read them as iii–vi–V/vi–V in Ab or v–i–V–VII in Fm. C is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab side have the last word.
