Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it both starts and finishes on Cm and Cm is heard 10 times against 3 for Eb. 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). 8 different chords appear 37 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. E is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Fm → Cm, heard 4 times. From the Cm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Eb side it reads ii → 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 Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Cm, Fm, Ab, Gm carry the song: vi–ii–IV–iii relative to Eb, i–iv–VI–v relative to Cm. D adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Gm. Keep an ear on Fm → Cm (ii → vi in Eb, iv → i in Cm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
