Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because Em is heard 19 times against 11 for G. 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). 5 different chords appear 73 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 Cmaj7 → Em, heard 14 times. From the Em side it is VImaj7 → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the G side it reads IVmaj7 → 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 D lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em, D, Cmaj7, Am carry the song: vi–V–IVmaj7–ii relative to G, i–VII–VImaj7–iv relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Cmaj7 → Em (IVmaj7 → vi in G, VImaj7 → i in Em): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is Cmaj7; the ear comes to rest in G.
