Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because Am is heard 6 times against 3 for C. 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 47 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 Dm7 → G, heard 10 times. From the Am side it is iv7 → VII; from the C side it reads ii7 → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). 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 Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Dm7, G, Em, Am carry the song: ii7–V–iii–vi relative to C, iv7–VII–v–i relative to Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dm7 → G (ii7 → V in C, iv7 → VII in Am): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. Ending on Em, the song seals C as home.
