I got an assignment which I'm supposed to write a song using 4 or 5 chords ( including I, IV, V, VII [major] or i, iv, v [natural minor] or i, iv, v [harmonic mionor]) but I'm so lost with the whole "writing a song with selected chords only." I have to write a 16 bar song and perform in front of people (singing & playing keyboard). I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand writing songs with 4 or 5 chords. I need to know how to even start with different chords and how i should apply melody to it. Once I have that, I will write the lyrics.
Thanks in advance.
