Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it comes to rest on Ab and Ab is heard 12 times against 6 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
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). 5 different chords appear 48 times in total; 5 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 Dbmaj7 → Abmaj7, heard 6 times. From the Ab side it reads IVmaj7 → Imaj7 (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Fm side it is VImaj7 → IIImaj7. 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 Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Cm, Abmaj7, Fm, Bbm carry the song: iii–Imaj7–vi–ii relative to Ab, v–IIImaj7–i–iv relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dbmaj7 → Abmaj7 (IVmaj7 → Imaj7 in Ab, VImaj7 → IIImaj7 in Fm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is Abmaj7; the ear comes to rest in Ab.
