Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it both starts and finishes on Gm, Gm is heard 16 times against 12 for Bb 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). 7 different chords appear 69 times in total; 5 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. Am step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is F → Bb, heard 10 times. From the Gm side it is VII → III; from the Bb side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival 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.
The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Gm, Cm, Bb, F; read them as vi–ii–I–V in Bb or i–iv–III–VII 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 F → Bb (V → I in Bb, VII → III in Gm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Gm, the song seals Gm as home.
