Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it opens on Fm and Fm is heard 11 times while Ab never appears. 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.

Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 72 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.
Chord movement
- Cm7 Fm7 Abiii7 → vi7 Fmv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×7
- Bbm7 Eb Abii7 → Vii → V Fmiv7 → VII ×4
- Cm7 Fm Abiii7 → vi Fmv7 → inatural-minor cadence ×2
- Dbmaj7 Fm7 AbIVmaj7 → vi7 FmVImaj7 → i7VI → i ×1
The move to watch is Cm7 → Fm7, heard 7 times. From the Fm side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab side it reads iii7 → vi7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Bbm7, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm7, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Fm7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Bbm7, Cm7, Db, Fm7 — ii7–iii7–IV–vi7 from the Ab side, iv7–v7–VI–i7 from the Fm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm7 → Fm7 (iii7 → vi7 in Ab, v7 → i7 in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Cm7, letting the Ab side have the last word.
