Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb major side because Bb is heard 23 times against 4 for Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from G minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 6 different chords appear 66 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Ab is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is D# → Bb, heard 6 times. From the Bb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Gm side it is VI → 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 Cm7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Bb, Cm7, Ab, D#; read them as I–ii7–bVII–IV in Bb or III–iv7–bII–VI in Gm. Ab briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on D# → Bb (IV → I in Bb, VI → III in Gm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is Cm7; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
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.
