Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it both starts and finishes on Dm and Dm is heard 15 times against 7 for F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 3 different chords appear 29 times in total; 3 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 C → Dm, heard 7 times. From the Dm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the F side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected F, lands on Dm). 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 opening Dm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Dm, F, C; read them as vi–I–V in F or i–III–VII in Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → Dm (V → vi in F, VII → i in Dm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm as home.
