New Game - Name a Song for Each Chord Progression

Sign in to disble this ad
Going to try out a new game. I'm listing what I think are the most popular chord progressions for popular music. After each chord progression, you list a song that fits the chord progression. It's a way to see how many songs fit the "money chord" progressions, which one is the most used, and probably expand the material we can play.

Here's the chord progressions (chords in lowercase indicate a minor):

I - IV - V (or close variation)
V - IV - I or I - flat VII - IV
I - V -vi - IV
I - vi - IV - V
I - IV
I-IV-I-V or 12 bar blues

I'll start
I - IV - V - Good Lovin', Young Rascals
V- IV - I - Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd
I - V - vi - IV - With or Without You, U2
I - vi - IV - V - Stand By Me, Ben E King
I - IV - ABC, Jackson 5
I - IV - I -V - Redneck Woman, Gretchen Wilson

Let's what what everyone else has.

How about "Rhythm Changes"? ie. the chords to "I got Rhythm".

I'll start with "I got Rhythm" and "The Flintstones" (WILMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!)

A bunch of others can be found at:
