Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because Am is heard 29 times against 15 for C. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 5 different chords appear 115 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 Em → Am, heard 21 times. From the Am side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the C 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Am, Em, G, F — vi–iii–V–IV from the C side, i–v–VII–VI from the Am side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em → Am (iii → vi in C, v → i in Am): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on F, the song seals C as home.
