Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because 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 16 times in total; 1 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. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Am → B, heard 3 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening Dm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Am, Dm, E, B; read them as ii–v–V/ii–V/vi in G or iv–vii–V/iv–V in Em. E is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/ii), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V/iv) 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 E, the song seals G as home.
