Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 7 times against 2 for Ab. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 7 different chords appear 60 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 5 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab side it reads iii → 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 first chord is Cm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Cm, Ebm, Bbm, Fm — iii–v–ii–vi from the Ab side, v–vii–iv–i from the Fm side. F adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bbm. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Cm, the song seals Ab as home.
