Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between G major and E minor. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 3 different chords appear 27 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Bm, D, A; read them as iii–V–V/V in G or v–VII–IV in Em. A adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to D. Ending on Bm, the song seals G as home.
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.
