Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it comes to rest on Am and Am is heard 13 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 28 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is G → Am, heard 8 times. From the Am side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the C side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected C, lands on Am). 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 G, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, G, Bb, Gm — vi–V–bVII–v from the C side, i–VII–bII–vii from the Am side. Bb briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on G → Am (V → vi in C, VII → i in Am): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. It closes on Am, letting the Am 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.
