Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 6 times against 4 for Ab. 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 42 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 Cm → Fm, heard 6 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab side it reads iii → 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 Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Cm, Bbm, Fm, Ab carry the song: iii–ii–vi–I relative to Ab, v–iv–i–III relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Cm, letting the Ab side have the last word.
