Re: 100 songs, that only use 3 chords, C D E, big request, if possible

If you are looking for 100 songs that use ONLY the chords C - D - E you are outta luck. These chords C - D - E do not fit into a useful chord progression. If you are asking for songs that use the Key of C, Key of D and the Key of E then you are asking a completely different question.

In the Key of C your 3 chord progression would be C - F - G.

In the Key of D your 3 chord progression would be D - G - A.

In the key of G your 3 chord progression would be G - C - D.

Depending upon your voice ANY song can be transposed into a KEY you can sing in.

Rethink your question and ask it correctly.

And if that is the only chords you can play right now, it would boost your list by thousands if you learned A, F and G along with those.  Then you would be cooking.

OK, i gotta ask this,   If the key of the song is based on the first chord played, as I understand it,  and you say a D progression is as ^  then what key is   D Am7 Em?  I always asumed it was a D progression and so have been trying some leed in the  D major pentatonic.  Is this still right?

The key of the song is OFTEN the first chord played, but not always.  A good example is "Mr. Jones" by Counting Crows.  It's in the key of C, but you don't hear the first C until the chorus starts.  (The verse is Am - F - Dm - G - Am - F - G - G, and the chorus is C - F - G.)

You may be right, I don't know.  With those chords and depending on the order it could also be variants of A or E.

If you really want to know, I suggest you post this question in the theory section where Jerome, Russ or one of the experts are more likely to see it.
