Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because Em is heard 4 times while G never appears and the major V chord points straight at Em. 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). 4 different chords appear 59 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.
The move to watch is Am → B, heard 14 times. From the Em side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the G side it reads ii → V/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 opening Am lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are B, Am, C, Em; read them as V/vi–ii–IV–vi in G or V–iv–VI–i in Em. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Am → B (ii → V/vi in G, iv → V in Em): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. Ending on B, the song seals G as home.
