Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it comes to rest on Cm, Cm is heard 39 times against 18 for Eb and the major V chord points straight at Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 7 different chords appear 153 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm. F#m step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is Fm → G, heard 39 times. From the Cm side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the Eb side it reads ii → V/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.
Starting on Fm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Fm, G, Cm, Eb — ii–V/vi–vi–I from the Eb side, iv–V–i–III from the Cm side. G is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Fm → G (ii → V/vi in Eb, iv → V in Cm): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. It closes on Cm, letting the Cm side have the last word.
