Axis of Awesome 4 chords song. How does this band play so many top songs just with 4 chords when the songs sound very different? What are the chords?

Question

In: 4

Answer 1

It’s not the chords that are always the same, it’s the chord progression. The relationship between the four chords. If you listen to a lot of these songs compared to the real ones, they’re in a completely different key, it’s just that the rise and fall between the major chords is the same. Plus, the percussion and melody and vocals are different as well.
