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 7 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). 4 different chords appear 57 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 Em7 → Am7, heard 3 times. From the Am side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the C side it reads iii7 → vi7. 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.
The first chord is Am7; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Em7, Dm7, Fmaj7, Am7; read them as iii7–ii7–IVmaj7–vi7 in C or v7–iv7–VImaj7–i7 in Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em7 → Am7 (iii7 → vi7 in C, v7 → i7 in Am): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Fmaj7, letting the C side have the last word.
