These chords stand in the same relationship to one another (in the relative minor key) as do the three major chords, so that they may be viewed as the first (i), fourth (iv) and fifth (v) degrees of the relative minor key. For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor, and in the key of A minor, the i, iv and v chords are A minor, D ...
The most basic three-chord progressions of Western harmony have only major chords. In each key, three chords are designated with the Roman numerals (of musical notation): The tonic (I), the subdominant (IV), and the dominant (V). While the chords of each three-chord progression are numbered (I, IV, and V), they appear in other orders. [f] [18]

It does not accurately represent the chord ...

"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a tribute to Vince Gill's step brother who has died recently before the song was composed. [1] It is composed in the key of D major with a slow tempo, largely following the chord pattern D-G-D-A-D. [2]
In music, extended chords are certain chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the seventh. Ninth , eleventh , and thirteenth chords are extended chords. [ 2 ] The thirteenth is the farthest extension diatonically possible as, by that point, all seven tonal degrees are represented within the chord (the next ...
