About TheoryTab

TheoryTab is the world's largest collection of songs analyzed by their underlying chord progressions and melodies. Each song is broken down into sections, showing the chords and melody in a visual, interactive format using Hookpad's relative notation system.

Unlike traditional tabs or sheet music, TheoryTabs reveal the function of each chord and note within a song — making it easy to see patterns, compare songs, and understand what makes music work. All tabs are crowd-sourced and community-maintained.

Whether you're a songwriter looking for inspiration, a student learning music theory, or just curious about how your favorite songs are put together, TheoryTab is a powerful tool for exploring and understanding music.

Hooktheory's color-coded visual notation system makes it easy to see how music functions, regardless of musical ability or music literacy.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about TheoryTab.

TheoryTab is the world's largest database of songs analyzed by their chord progressions and melodies. Each entry breaks a song into its harmonic and melodic components using relative notation, making it easy to see the music theory behind any song.
TheoryTabs are crowd-sourced and community-maintained. Musicians use Hookpad — our intelligent music sketchpad — to transcribe songs by ear, identifying the chords and melodies and entering them in a standardized format that anyone can read and learn from.
Roman numerals represent chords by their position in a key rather than by letter name. For example, in the key of C major, I = C, IV = F, V = G, and vi = Am. This relative notation makes it easy to compare chord progressions across songs in different keys. Click here to learn more about relative notation.
Yes! Anyone can contribute. Visit our Contributor Guide to learn how to use Hookpad to transcribe songs. Your contributions help musicians worldwide learn and understand music theory through real songs.

All of our TheoryTabs are contributed to our site by users like you! Every TheoryTab can be revised at any time by any registered user. Each TheoryTab has a full version history similar to Wikipedia.

To edit a TheoryTab, follow this guide.

Please note: Hooktheory is a collaborative, community-driven project, and maintaining quality and respectful contributions is essential. Users may be flagged if they:

  • Consistently submit inaccurate, misleading, or intentionally incorrect TheoryTabs.
  • Delete or overwrite good work from other contributors without reason.
  • Use offensive, inappropriate, or spammy content in their submissions.
  • Repeatedly ignore transcription guidelines or community feedback.
Relative notation describes chords and notes by their function within a key, rather than by their absolute pitch. This means a I–V–vi–IV progression is the same pattern whether the song is in C major, G major, or any other key — making it much easier to recognize common patterns across songs.
