Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C major side because it opens on C and C is heard 11 times against 7 for Am. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from A minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to C or to Am; 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 C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 7 different chords appear 83 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bm step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is Dm → G, heard 12 times. From the C side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Am 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.
The song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening C lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Dm, Em, G, C carry the song: ii–iii–V–I relative to C, iv–v–VII–III relative to Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dm → G (ii → V in C, iv → VII in Am): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on Em, letting the C side have the last word.
