Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because Am is heard 22 times while C never appears. 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.

| V/vi | E | Secondary dominant V/vi — leads to Amsecondary dominant | E · G# · B | — |

The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 4 different chords appear 83 times in total; 4 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 F → G, heard 13 times. From the Am side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the C side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on G, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are G, Am, F, Em; read them as V–vi–IV–iii in C or VII–i–VI–v in Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F → G (IV → V in C, VI → VII in Am): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in C.
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.
