Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between G major and E minor. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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 44 times in total; 0 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G# is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is D#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is D#m, E, C#m, G#m7 — bvi–VI–#iv–bii7 from the G side, #vii–I–#vi–#iii7 from the Em side. G# briefly darkens the picture: neapolitan bii — a dark, dramatic colour a half step above the tonic. Ending on D#m, 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.
