Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it both starts and finishes on Am, Am is heard 12 times while C never appears 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). 6 different chords appear 26 times in total; 4 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 is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Am. B acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Em → Am, heard 3 times. From the Am side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the C side it reads iii → 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.
Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, Dm, F, Em — vi–ii–IV–iii from the C side, i–iv–VI–v from the Am side. B is the interesting twist: in C it is a chromatic chord (V/iii), while in Am it becomes the dominant (V/v) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Em → Am (iii → vi in C, v → i in Am): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Am, letting the Am side have the last word.
