Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between D major and B minor because it opens on Bm and D is heard 9 times against 4 for Bm. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 6 different chords appear 63 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
The move to watch is G → D, heard 4 times. From the D side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Bm side it is VI → III. 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 Bm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Em, G, F#m, D carry the song: ii–IV–iii–I relative to D, iv–VI–v–III relative to Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G → D (IV → I in D, VI → III in Bm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. Ending on Em, the song seals D as home.
