Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C major side because C is heard 1 times while Am never appears. 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). 3 different chords appear 33 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The first chord is Em7; the ear learns where home is within a second. Em7, Dm7, Cmaj7 carry the song: iii7–ii7–Imaj7 relative to C, v7–iv7–IIImaj7 relative to Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Dm7, letting the C side have the last word.
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.
