Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 15 times against 2 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). 7 different chords appear 45 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Eb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Gb → Bbm, heard 3 times. From the Bbm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Db side it reads IV → 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 Bbm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Bbm, Ab, Fm, Gb; read them as vi–V–iii–IV in Db or i–VII–v–VI in Bbm. Eb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to Ab. Keep an ear on Gb → Bbm (IV → vi in Db, VI → i in Bbm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Gb, letting the Db side have the last word.
