May 21, 2021 at 12:29 comment added Dekkadeci @user45266 - A G chord going to a D7 chord always makes sense (if all else fails, temporarily tonicize the G chord).
May 21, 2021 at 11:10 comment added user45266 I'd have to agree with @JohnBelzaguy, the argument for E major as the key here doesn't look too good. If B7 in A is a stretch, then what the heck is G major doing going to D7 in E? Seems a lot more logical to call it A major, if not purely based on where the A chords sit in relation to the hypermetric structure - why start and end sections on the IV like that? It's an interesting alternative theory, but IMO a bit far-fetched with no context to point to as evidence for me to believe it at the moment.

May 20, 2021 at 17:46 comment added John Belzaguy Maybe it can be explained that way but it doesn’t sound like a chord progression in the key of E. The only E chord functions as a dominant.
