Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 12 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 48 times in total; 4 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 Fm → Bbm, heard 11 times. From the Bbm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Db 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 opening Bbm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Bbm, Gb, Ebm, Fm; read them as vi–IV–ii–iii in Db or i–VI–iv–v in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fm → Bbm (iii → vi in Db, v → i in Bbm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Fm, the song seals Db as home.
