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 13 times against 4 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). 5 different chords appear 50 times in total; 5 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 9 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 opening Am lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Fmaj7, G, Am, Cmaj7; read them as IVmaj7–V–vi–Imaj7 in C or VImaj7–VII–i–IIImaj7 in Am. 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 Fmaj7, letting the C side have the last word.
