Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it comes to rest on Dm, Dm is heard 14 times while F never appears and the major V chord points straight at Dm. 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 40 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm. G step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is A7 → Dm, heard 6 times. From the Dm side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the F side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: A7 resolves a fourth up to Dm). 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 G lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Dm, G, A7, Bb carry the song: vi–II–V7/vi–IV relative to F, i–IV–V7–VI relative to Dm. A7 is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A7 → Dm (V7/vi → vi in F, V7 → i in Dm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm as home.
