Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 24 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). 6 different chords appear 117 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Bbm → Fm, heard 15 times. From the Fm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Ab side it reads ii → 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 Eb lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Cm, Eb, Fm, Db — iii–V–vi–IV from the Ab side, v–VII–i–VI from the Fm side. F adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bbm. Keep an ear on Bbm → Fm (ii → vi in Ab, iv → i in Fm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab side have the last word.
