Note: There are certainly times when you’ll come across a chord other than these seven while in the key of C (Bb would be a common one). These are referred to as non-diatonic chords, which is a can of worms too big to open in this book. So, a I–IV–V progression in the key of C would contain C (I), F (IV), and G (V) chords. Make sense? Other common major-key progressions include the following:

I–V–vi–IV: (in C) C–G–Am–F

I–ii–iii–IV: (in C) C–Dm–Em–F

I–IV–I–IV: (in C) C–F–C–F

So what about other keys? Good question! Each major key has its own key signature—or collection of sharps or flats that it uses throughout the piece of music. The key signature for C major is blank, but every other major key will display one or more sharps or flats in the music. This is something that you’ll eventually want to memorize, but for now, I’ll just list them here for reference. Using this information, you’ll be able to find the chords to any progression in any major key.
