Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because Gm is heard 15 times while Bb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 4 different chords appear 63 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm.
The move to watch is D → Gm, heard 9 times. From the Gm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Bb 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 opening D lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are D, Eb, Gm, Cm; read them as V/vi–IV–vi–ii in Bb or V–VI–i–iv in Gm. D is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on D → Gm (V/vi → vi in Bb, V → i in Gm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on D, letting the Bb side have the last word.
