Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between C major and A minor because it comes to rest on C, it opens on Am and Am is heard 8 times against 4 for C. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 7 different chords appear 26 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is G → Am, heard 3 times. From the C side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected C, lands on Am); from the Am side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, G, C, Dm — vi–V–I–ii from the C side, i–VII–III–iv from the Am side. D adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to G. Keep an ear on G → Am (V → vi in C, VII → i in Am): deceptive cadence — expected C, lands on Am. Ending on C, the song seals C as home.
