Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because Bm is heard 10 times while D never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 3 different chords appear 52 times in total; 3 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 G → Bm, heard 6 times. From the Bm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the D side it reads IV → 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 opening F#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is F#m, G, Bm — iii–IV–vi from the D side, v–VI–i from the Bm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G → Bm (IV → vi in D, VI → i in Bm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on F#m, letting the D side have the last word.
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.
