See this for an explanation of how these chords are derived. The most common keys of C, D, F, and G have the name of the key, the I, or root chord, and the flats and sharps in blue. Table 2 lists the notes in all the major keys. Table 2A has a similar format to this (Table 8A) in that "adjacent" keys are in adjacent rows. Table 3 explains how to form major, minor, and diminished chords. Table 8 is arranged so that keys are listed alphabetically.
