Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it opens on Dm, Dm is heard 17 times while F never appears and the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 3 different chords appear 38 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
The move to watch is Bb → Dm, heard 7 times. From the Dm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the F side it reads IV → 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 opening Dm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Dm, A, Bb; read them as vi–V/vi–IV in F or i–V–VI in Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Bb → Dm (IV → vi in F, VI → i in Dm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is A; the ear comes to rest in F.
