Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it both starts and finishes on Fm, Fm is heard 22 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). 4 different chords appear 54 times in total; 3 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 C → Fm, heard 12 times. From the Fm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Ab side it reads V/vi → 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.
The first chord is Fm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Fm, Bbm, C, C# — vi–ii–V/vi–IV from the Ab side, i–iv–V–VI from the Fm side. 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 C → Fm (V/vi → vi in Ab, V → i in Fm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. The final chord is Fm; the ear comes to rest in Fm.
