12 Bar Blues Chords

In the Key of F

Based on the I, IV and V chords of any key, the 12 bar blues is one of the most prominent chord progressions in modern music. Chord variations may also be added for harmonic diversity. In the above example, the last 2 measures use a cadence referred to as a turnaround.
