Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bbm and Bbm is heard 9 times against 4 for Db. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 6 different chords appear 34 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 Ab → Db, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is VII → III; from the Db 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.
Starting on Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Bbm, Ab, Fm, Gb carry the song: vi–V–iii–IV relative to Db, i–VII–v–VI relative to Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Db (V → I in Db, VII → III in Bbm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. The final chord is Bbm; the ear comes to rest in Bbm.
