Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it opens on Am and Am is heard 12 times while C never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to C or to Am; 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 C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 6 different chords appear 51 times in total; 6 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 Fmaj7 → Am, heard 5 times. From the Am side it is VImaj7 → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the C side it reads IVmaj7 → 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 Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Fmaj7, Em, Am, Dm7 — IVmaj7–iii–vi–ii7 from the C side, VImaj7–v–i–iv7 from the Am side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fmaj7 → Am (IVmaj7 → vi in C, VImaj7 → i in Am): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Em7, letting the C 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.
