Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between Eb major and C minor because it comes to rest on Eb, it opens on Cm and Cm is heard 20 times against 13 for Eb. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 6 different chords appear 78 times in total; 6 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 Bb → Cm, heard 11 times. From the Eb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Eb, lands on Cm); from the Cm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home). 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 Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Bb, Cm, Eb, Gm; read them as V–vi–I–iii in Eb or VII–i–III–v in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bb → Cm (V → vi in Eb, VII → i in Cm): deceptive cadence — expected Eb, lands on Cm. Ending on Eb, the song seals Eb as home.
