Some punk and hardcore punk songs use only a few chords. Some jazz-funk songs are based on a two-, three-, or four-chord vamp. Funk emphasizes the groove and rhythm as the key element, so entire funk songs may be based on one chord. Some pop and rock songs from the 1980s to the 2010s have fairly simple chord progressions. The complexity of a chord progression varies from genre to genre and over different historical periods. For example, if the bandleader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of C major, the chords would be C–C–C–C, F–F–C–C, G–F–C–C if the bandleader wanted the song in G major, the chords would be G–G–G–G, C–C–G–G, D–C–G–G and so on.

Thus, a simple version of the 12-bar blues might be expressed as I–I–I–I, IV–IV–I–I, V–IV–I–I.

For example, the previously mentioned chord progression, in the key of C major, would be written as C major–A minor–D minor–G major in a fake book or lead sheet. In many styles of popular and traditional music, chord progressions are expressed using the name and " quality" of the chords. Chord progressions, such as the common chord progression I–vi–ii–V, are usually expressed by Roman numerals in Classical music theory. In tonal music, chord progressions have the function of either establishing or otherwise contradicting a tonality, the technical name for what is commonly understood as the " key" of a song or piece. In these genres, chord progressions are the defining feature on which melody and rhythm are built. Chord progressions are the foundation of popular music styles (e.g., pop music, rock music), traditional music, as well as genres such as blues and jazz.
