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 and Gm is heard 16 times against 12 for Bb. 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). 4 different chords appear 56 times in total; 4 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 F → Gm, heard 10 times. From the Gm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Bb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Bb, lands on Gm). 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 backbone is Gm, Cm, Bb, F — vi–ii–I–V from the Bb side, i–iv–III–VII from the Gm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F → Gm (V → vi in Bb, VII → i in Gm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Gm; the ear comes to rest in Gm.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
