Songs That Only Use 3 Chords

Although most songs do use more than just three chords, songs that only stick to three chords are quite common and we shouldn't be surprised by that as, between the three main chords of the key, I, IV and V, we have everything we need to make a functional chord progression.

Here's my previous video on the Harmonic Minor:    • Songs that use the Harmonic Minor scale  

The outro music to this video is my track "See You Again" which you can hear in full on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJ... 🎶
