Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes

- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it both starts and finishes on Fm and Fm is heard 9 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.

Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 6 different chords appear 35 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×7
- Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×2
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×1
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 7 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.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Fm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Bbm, Fm, Cm, Eb — ii–vi–iii–V from the Ab side, iv–i–v–VII from the Fm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is Fm; the ear comes to rest in Fm.
