Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between E major and C# minor because it comes to rest on C#m and E is heard 11 times against 9 for C#m. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 5 different chords appear 57 times in total; 5 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 → C#m, heard 8 times. From the E side it reads IV → vi; from the C#m side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home). 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 opening A lays a solid floor for everything that follows. F#m, B, E, A carry the song: ii–V–I–IV relative to E, iv–VII–III–VI 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 → C#m (IV → vi in E, VI → i in C#m): VI → i — falls a half step into home. Ending on C#m, the song seals C#m 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.
