Chords & Key's

OK just when i think i'm getting the hang of a bit of theory!

I'm sitting here trying to work out they key for a song - it end's on G, so i figure the key of G is a good place to start.

It also has a Bm (a iii chord) ok, ok, looking good, a C(IV) and a D(V) an Am (ii). Great, must be in G then....hmm what's this, an F!

So where does F come from? Can you just chuck in a random chord from another key?

I've another simple song with a G, D, C, G progression, but then there'll be a D7 inserted after the D sometimes? Hows does this work?

Is it still the same key? And are there some rules to this adding of out of key chords?


You say you want to play country, but you're in a punk rock band.
