Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it opens on Em, Em is heard 14 times against 2 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 8 different chords appear 48 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.
The move to watch is Bm → Em, heard 10 times. From the Em side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the G side it reads iii → vi. 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 Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Em, Am, Bm, D; read them as vi–ii–iii–V in G or i–iv–v–VII in Em. B7 is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Bm → Em (iii → vi in G, v → i in Em): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on B7, letting the G side have the last word.
