Best Answer

Chords are numbered according to their position in the key. Customarily, Roman numerals are used to represent the relative chord positions. For example, in the key of C major, the four-note scale-tone chords are:

  • I = Cmaj7
  • ii = Dm7
  • iii = Em7
  • IV = Fmaj7
  • V = G7
  • vi = Am7
  • vii = Bø (that's "B half-diminished")

Since the pattern of chord types is the same in every major key, if you know a chord progression in terms of its relative positions, you can play the progression in any key you wish.
