This is written with all songs converted to the key of C though. So in guitar-friendly keys you're probably looking at the key of E and there the Em becomes G#m; or key of A and C#m.

Sure -- slap a capo on the 4th fret and there it is. :)

(Also, songs are often written in one key, then transposed in the studio.)
