Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it both starts and finishes on Em, Em is heard 15 times against 6 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 9 different chords appear 59 times in total; 5 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; seen from G, the same B7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em. F#, E, C#m7b5 act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is B7 → Em, heard 8 times. From the Em side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the G side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: B7 resolves a fourth up to Em). 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 Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Em, Am, B7, D carry the song: vi–ii–V7/vi–V relative to G, i–iv–V7–VII relative to Em. B7 is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on B7 → Em (V7/vi → vi in G, V7 → i in Em): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Em, letting the Em side have the last word.
