Terence Oh of Quaverbox shows how to work out the key from a chord chart and key signature in this video. For example, in a key signature sharps go up one semitone from the rightmost sharp to find the key, in a key signature with flats, look for the second flat from the right. One flat is the key of F Major, and no flats or sharps is the key of C Major.
