Seems to me they were both designed to be in A minor, the song
version being played on an A lute instead...
Definitely from a hands point of view, the 7 Tears version in A minor
using a G lute is much more difficult to play..

Isn't the received wisdom also that none of the g minor Lachrimae
pavans is by Dowland and that only the lute parts of the 7 tears
show
his handling of the theme as a lute piece?
Except of course that the Lachrimae galliard is in g minor.
Hmmmm.

Query for the luteverse.
While Dowland's song Flow My Tears is in A minor, the solo
version
is
in G minor. Is there any reason why
It's not unusual for instrumental versions of songs to be in a
different key from the original, because the song is pitched to
accommodate the voice and the instrumental version is set to
accommodate the hands or maximize the instrument's resonance.
