Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb major side because it comes to rest on Bb and Bb is heard 24 times against 17 for Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from G minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
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). 6 different chords appear 84 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb7 acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. Ab7, Bmaj7 are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Ab7 → Bbmaj7, heard 20 times. From the Bb side it reads bVII7 → Imaj7 (bVII → I: a rock / Mixolydian arrival); from the Gm side it is bII7 → 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.
Starting on Ebmaj7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Ebmaj7, Ab7, Bbmaj7, Gm7; read them as IVmaj7–bVII7–Imaj7–vi7 in Bb or VImaj7–bII7–IIImaj7–i7 in Gm. Bb7 adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/IV — leads to Eb. Keep an ear on Ab7 → Bbmaj7 (bVII7 → Imaj7 in Bb, bII7 → IIImaj7 in Gm): bVII → I — a rock / Mixolydian arrival. The final chord is Bb7; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
