Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 7 times while Ab never appears. 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). 5 different chords appear 34 times in total; 5 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 Cm → Fm, heard 3 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 Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Cm, Bbm, Fm, Dbmaj7 — iii–ii–vi–IVmaj7 from the Ab side, v–iv–i–VImaj7 from the Fm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Ab.
