Chords in Major and minor!

Each major key has a relative minor. The I chord is the name of the major key and the vi chord
is the relative minor. If you’re playing in a minor key you’ll want to look at the chord numbers in
gray. I only address the natural minor.

(Note: In the harmonic minor the seventh scale degree is raised a half step making the v chord
major, the VII chord diminished, and the III chord Augmented!)

(Another note: It may seem like some keys are missing, but three of the keys above could be
named differently. B is the same as Cb, F# is the same as Gb, and Db is the same as C#)
