    Notes: [1] Dim chords are less commonly used than any other. [2] Very often variations of
    the chords show are used. For example the V is very often played as a 7th (G7 when
    playing in C). Sometimes the II is played as a major followed by a V to "bring it home" (D
    followed by G when playing in C).
