Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it opens on Ab and Ab is heard 20 times against 4 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 12 different chords appear 67 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A, E, Dbm are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Eb → Ab, heard 9 times. From the Ab side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Fm side it is VII → III. 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 Ab; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Ab, Bbm, Eb, A; read them as I–ii–V–bII in Ab or III–iv–VII–#III in Fm. A briefly darkens the picture: neapolitan bii — a dark, dramatic colour a half step above the tonic. Keep an ear on Eb → Ab (V → I in Ab, VII → III in Fm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on A, letting the Ab side have the last word.
