Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it comes to rest on Am, it opens on C and Am is heard 11 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 28 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is G → Am, heard 4 times. From the Am side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the C side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected C, lands on Am). 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 first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. Am, F, G, C carry the song: vi–IV–V–I relative to C, i–VI–VII–III relative to Am. A adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Dm. Keep an ear on G → Am (V → vi in C, VII → i in Am): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Am, the song seals Am as home.
