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

the I, V, vi and IV chords of a major key. The roman numerals represent the numbers of the major scale we begin a chord from (1, 5, 6, 4) so in C major this would be C, G, Amin, F or in G major it would be G, D, Emin, C.
