The four golden chords are C major, G major, A minor, and F major in the key of C.

This progression works because it creates a satisfying sense of tension and resolution.

• The I chord establishes the tonal centre and gives listeners a sense of arrival.
• The V chord introduces harmonic tension that naturally pulls back to the I.
• A minor (vi) brings an emotional, slightly melancholic colour.
• Together, IV and V set up a powerful return to the home chord.
