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, Am is heard 11 times while C never appears and the major V chord points straight at Am. 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). 5 different chords appear 30 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Am brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from C, the same E7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Am.
The move to watch is F → G, heard 6 times. From the Am side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the C side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before 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.
Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, F, G, Dm — vi–IV–V–ii from the C side, i–VI–VII–iv from the Am side. E7 is the interesting twist: in C it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Am it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F → G (IV → V in C, VI → VII in Am): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. It closes on G, letting the C side have the last word.
