Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between F major and D minor. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 4 different chords appear 44 times in total; 4 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 Gm → C, heard 2 times. From the F side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Dm side it is iv → VII. 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 Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, Gm, C, Bb — iii–ii–V–IV from the F side, v–iv–VII–VI from the Dm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → C (ii → V in F, iv → VII in Dm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. Ending on Gm, the song seals F as home.
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.
