The chart below lists the common chords in the key of A flat major. The first row are triads and four note voicings in the second row. Roman numerals indicate each chords position relative to the scale.
Note: The same chords and scale notes are used for the key of G sharp major but this key isn't used often because of notation difficulties caused by the need for a double sharp.
