Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Ebm and Ebm is heard 19 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Gb or to Ebm; 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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 5 different chords appear 79 times in total; 5 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 Bbm → D#m, heard 7 times. From the Ebm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Gb 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 D#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are D#m, B, G#m, C#; read them as vi–IV–ii–V in Gb or i–VI–iv–VII in Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bbm → D#m (iii → vi in Gb, v → i in Ebm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is D#m; the ear comes to rest in Ebm.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
