Chords in the Key of F Minor
Every major key has seven diatonic chords — three major (I, IV, V), three minor (ii, iii, vi), and one diminished (vii°) — built from the notes of its major scale. Choose a key below to see its chords with Roman numerals, its scale, and common progressions, each linked to full chord voicings on guitar.
The key of F minor contains seven diatonic chords, one built on each degree of the F natural minor scale: Fm, G°, G#, A#m, Cm, C#, D#. Numbered with Roman numerals (i–VII), these are the chords that belong naturally to the key — and songs in F minor very often add a major V borrowed from the harmonic minor scale for a stronger pull home.
Learn the pattern behind them — minor on i, iv, and v, major on III, VI, and VII, diminished on ii° — and you can spell the chords of any minor key. Use the table on this page to see each chord's notes, then jump to the chord library for fingerings or to the progressions section to hear how the key's chords move together.
