On: What chords do you need?

[willismichael]

It's also used in Hotel California.

Maybe it doesn't show up much in pop/rock/country, but it's not uncommon in jazz.

[GeorgeDewar → willismichael]

And I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie.

[fallingfrog → willismichael]

Hmm I don’t hear it, where? I hear:

vi III V II IV I ii III

And the chorus

IV I V vi IV I ii III

[spopejoy → fallingfrog]

If you interpret vi as the root (my preference for songs in a minor key) then that ii is a minor IV.
