Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm, Cm is heard 20 times while Eb never appears 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). 6 different chords appear 55 times in total; 4 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. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is G → Cm, heard 6 times. From the Cm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Eb side it reads V/vi → 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 first chord is Cm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, Fm, G, Ab; read them as vi–ii–V/vi–IV in Eb or i–iv–V–VI in Cm. 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 G → Cm (V/vi → vi in Eb, V → i in Cm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on G, letting the Eb 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.
