Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb major side because Eb is heard 6 times while Cm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 5 different chords appear 33 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. D, F act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Bb → Eb, heard 6 times. From the Eb side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Cm side it is VII → III. 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 Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Gm, Bb, Eb, D carry the song: iii–V–I–V/iii relative to Eb, v–VII–III–V/v relative to Cm. D adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Gm. Keep an ear on Bb → Eb (V → I in Eb, VII → III in Cm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on F, letting the Eb side have the last word.
