What chords go into what key?

Here's a breakdown of each chord in the scale:

• G Major: G B D.
• A minor: A C E.
• B minor: B D F#
• C Major: C E G.
• D Major: D F# A.
• E minor: E G B.
• F# diminished: F# A C.

Do power chords need keys?

That means that you are able to use a power chord for either a major or minor chord. For example, if you have a song where you are sure of the note you are going to use in the melody, but not the key, you can throw in a power chord that begins on that note.
