Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it opens on C, Am is heard 12 times against 5 for C 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). 14 different chords appear 65 times in total; 6 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 E / E7 is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Am. A, D act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. Fm6 is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Fm6 → C, heard 4 times. From the Am side it is vi6 → III; from the C side it reads iv6 → I (minor plagal: a bittersweet arrival with a borrowed iv). 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 C, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Am, G, Dm, F carry the song: vi–V–ii–IV relative to C, i–VII–iv–VI relative to Am. E is the interesting twist: in C it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Am it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Fm6 → C (iv6 → I in C, vi6 → III in Am): minor plagal — a bittersweet arrival with a borrowed iv. The final chord is D; the ear comes to rest in C.
