Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm, Cm is heard 15 times while Eb never appears and the major V chord points straight at Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 3 different chords appear 43 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm.
The move to watch is G7 → Cm, heard 12 times. From the Cm side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Eb side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: G7 resolves a fourth up to Cm). 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 Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Cm, Ab, G7 — vi–IV–V7/vi from the Eb side, i–VI–V7 from the Cm side. G7 is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on G7 → Cm (V7/vi → vi in Eb, V7 → i in Cm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. The final chord is G7; the ear comes to rest in Eb.
