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 and Dm is heard 10 times against 8 for F. 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). 7 different chords appear 68 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is C → Dm, heard 6 times. From the Dm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the F side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected F, lands on Dm). 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 Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. C, Am, Bb, Dm carry the song: V–iii–IV–vi relative to F, VII–v–VI–i relative to Dm. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Am. Keep an ear on C → Dm (V → vi in F, VII → i in Dm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Am; the ear comes to rest in F.
