Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because Em is heard 9 times against 1 for G. 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). 6 different chords appear 42 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F# acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is D → Em, heard 6 times. From the Em side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the G side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected G, lands on Em). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Bm, Em, D, C — iii–vi–V–IV from the G side, v–i–VII–VI from the Em side. F# adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Bm. Keep an ear on D → Em (V → vi in G, VII → i in Em): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. It closes on Bm, letting the G side have the last word.
