Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between Bb major and G minor because it comes to rest on Bb and the major V chord points straight at Gm. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 8 different chords appear 83 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D / D7 is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm. Am step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is F → Bb, heard 16 times. From the Bb side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Gm side it is VII → III. 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 Cm7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are F, Gm, Bb, Cm7; read them as V–vi–I–ii7 in Bb or VII–i–III–iv7 in Gm. D is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F → Bb (V → I in Bb, VII → III in Gm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. The final chord is Bb; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
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.
