Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em and Em is heard 15 times while G never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 7 different chords appear 33 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. Fmaj7 is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Am → Em, heard once. From the Em side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the G side it reads ii → 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Em, Am, Fmaj7, Dm carry the song: vi–ii–bVIImaj7–v relative to G, i–iv–bIImaj7–vii relative to Em. A adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to D. Keep an ear on Am → Em (ii → vi in G, iv → i in Em): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in Em.
