Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 4 times while Ab never appears. 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). 6 different chords appear 70 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Db → Eb, heard 3 times. From the Fm side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the Ab side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). 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 Bbm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Db, Cm, Bbm, Eb — IV–iii–ii–V from the Ab side, VI–v–iv–VII from the Fm side. F adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bbm. Keep an ear on Db → Eb (IV → V in Ab, VI → VII in Fm): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. It closes on Db, letting the Ab side have the last word.
