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, Am is heard 11 times against 3 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). 8 different chords appear 36 times in total; 5 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. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is F → Am, heard 3 times. From the Am side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the C side it reads IV → 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 first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. Am, D, F, G carry the song: vi–V/V–IV–V relative to C, i–IV–VI–VII 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 F → Am (IV → vi in C, VI → i in Am): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Am, letting the Am side have the last word.
