Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it opens on Dm and Dm is heard 5 times while F never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 4 different chords appear 20 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 Am → Dm, heard 2 times. From the Dm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the F 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 Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Gm, Am, Dm, C carry the song: ii–iii–vi–V relative to F, iv–v–i–VII relative to Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Am → Dm (iii → vi in F, v → i in Dm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Am, the song seals F as home.
