Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G major side because it both starts and finishes on G, G is heard 8 times while Em never appears and the major V chord points straight at Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from E minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
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). 6 different chords appear 35 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is C → D, heard 5 times. From the G side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home); from the Em side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic). 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 G lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are D, C, G, A; read them as V–IV–I–V/V in G or VII–VI–III–IV in Em. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (III), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on C → D (IV → V in G, VI → VII in Em): IV → V — the lift that builds tension before home. It closes on G, letting the G side have the last word.
