Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it comes to rest on Em and Em is heard 11 times while G never appears. 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). 2 different chords appear 22 times in total; 2 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 Am7 → Em7, heard 11 times. From the Em side it is iv7 → i7 (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the G side it reads ii7 → vi7. 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.
Starting on Am7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Am7, Em7; read them as ii7–vi7 in G or iv7–i7 in Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Am7 → Em7 (ii7 → vi7 in G, iv7 → i7 in Em): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Em7, the song seals Em as home.
