Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because C#m is heard 6 times while E never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from E major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#m; 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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 4 different chords appear 73 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 A → Dbm, heard 6 times. From the C#m side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the E side it reads IV → 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 first chord is Abm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Abm, A, F#m, Dbm carry the song: iii–IV–ii–vi relative to E, v–VI–iv–i relative to C#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on A → Dbm (IV → vi in E, VI → i in C#m): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Abm, letting the E side have the last word.
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.
