Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it opens on Bm and Bm is heard 10 times against 8 for D. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 11 different chords appear 62 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. F, Bb, D# are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is G → Bm, heard 6 times. From the Bm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the D 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Bm, G, D, A; read them as vi–IV–I–V in D or i–VI–III–VII in Bm. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to A. Keep an ear on G → Bm (IV → vi in D, VI → i in Bm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. Ending on F, the song seals D as home.
