Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it opens on Fm and Fm is heard 13 times against 2 for Ab. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 46 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 8 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab 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 Fm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Fm, Cm, Eb, Bbm carry the song: vi–iii–V–ii relative to Ab, i–v–VII–iv relative to Fm. Bb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to Eb. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Cm, the song seals Ab as home.
