Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it opens on Em, Em is heard 13 times against 8 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). 6 different chords appear 52 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 B is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em.
The move to watch is Bm → Em, heard 11 times. From the Em side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the G 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.
Starting on Em, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Em, C, Bm, G — vi–IV–iii–I from the G side, i–VI–v–III from the Em side. B is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Bm → Em (iii → vi in G, v → i in Em): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on B, letting the G side have the last word.
