Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 12 times against 4 for Db. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 6 different chords appear 56 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.
The move to watch is Ebm → Ab, heard 10 times. From the Bbm side it is iv → VII; from the Db side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). 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. Bbm, Ebm, Ab, Gb carry the song: vi–ii–V–IV relative to Db, i–iv–VII–VI relative to Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ebm → Ab (ii → V in Db, iv → VII in Bbm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is Fm; the ear comes to rest in Db.
