Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between Ab major and F minor because it comes to rest on Ab and Fm is heard 5 times against 4 for Ab. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 38 times in total; 8 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 Db → Fm, heard 4 times. From the Ab side it reads IV → vi; from the Fm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into 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 Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Db, Cm, Fm, Eb; read them as IV–iii–vi–V in Ab or VI–v–i–VII in Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Db → Fm (IV → vi in Ab, VI → i in Fm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is Ab; the ear comes to rest in Ab.
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.
