The easy way to find the key of a song is: The last chord of 99.8% of all songs is the root chord, which is the key the song is in.

Of course, if the song had a key change, you will need to factor that in to figure the original key.

Do this, playing the chords by ear, and there will come a point in time where you can listen to a song and without a guitar in your hand, you will be able to determine the key just from the chords you are hearing and instantly know the chords being played.
