The most common chords in country music are C, G, F, D and A minor. You can use any variation you would like to mix up the sound (example: G, D, Am, C). Use different rhythms to vary your music.

I-IV-V7 with the occassional II7-V7 substitution. Very often, Minor chords (ii, iii, and vi) are played as Major 7 chords (II7, III7, and VI7) Diminished VII chords are almost NEVER played. They are substituted with what's known a "Mountain 7th Chord" - a M7th chord down 1-step from I.
