Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G major side because G is heard 12 times against 6 for Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from E minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 5 different chords appear 48 times in total; 5 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 → D, heard 6 times. From the G side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home); from the Em side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic). 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The first chord is Am; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Am, G, D, Em — ii–I–V–vi from the G side, iv–III–VII–i from the Em side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → D (IV → V in G, VI → VII in Em): IV → V — the lift that builds tension before home. Ending on D, the song seals G 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.
