Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Look at the chordal notes.. this leads me to G major (E minor)
So it would suggest to me the Key is E minor..
Thus your progression would be: iv-v-VII-i
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

I can see my 'D' was wrong and should be VII (have corrected the original reply)... not sure why you have bVII ?? please explain as I am still learning this stuff myself and see these posts as an exercise in testing my understanding..
I have obviously also ignored the E7 reference and used Em instead..

So for a progression like Am - Bm - D - Em, I would prefer to think of it as Im - IIm - IV - Vm (Dorian)
and for Am - Bm - D - E7, I would prefer to think of it as Im - IIm - IV - V7 (Melodic Minor)
So when you apply the Roman Numerals... what is the protocol?
instead of: i-ii-IV-v ; you have used: Im - IIm - IV - Vm??

Its a Dorian feel and sound. My ear wouldn't suggest Em to be the home chord.
I was more interested in people thinking Am as the I chord or looking at what Major scale/key its come from.
Even if it has the E7 (V) i would look at this in the G major/A dorian but with a substitute on the V chord
If D was the VII of the key of Em.
That would mean either your thinking
D Em F#m G A Bm C#dim - this would be incorrect as A is used instead of Am
The chords have to be related to the Major key of G major scale not D major.
This was more of the answer i was looking for.
If i was soloing on Am - Bm - D - E7 i would still use Am Dorian but on the 5 chord target the E7 chord tones
The book also states that "in Nashville, most of the time, for a song in a minor key, chords charts are written as if in the relative major key". Personally I find that a bit counter intuitive and at odds with how my ear works, because I like to think and hear relative to a home root note key. Also, that's all very well if it's an Aeolian mode where the minor is the 6th of the relative major, but what about other modes?

However it has since been suggested that home is Am (meaning Dorian mode of G major).
And the roman numberals have been identified as : Im - IIm - IV - Vm.
I presume this is because the Numeral denotes the scale degree (within A Dorian) and the 'm' for minor; whereas I'm more familiar with upper and lower case.. i-ii-IV-v.
Sorry for any confusion, I'm still learning; and I appreciate this is a deviation from your actual "Nashville" question.

because with respect to the tonic, that's what is happening
note that if for example Dorian harmony was specified, IV would be major rather than minor
Great article and video.
So in Nashville the Chart of
Am Bm D Em (Key Of G)
Would be written out as
IIm - IIIm - V - VIm
Everything is related to the Major Scale. So even if the Tonic the tonality of the piece is Modal (in this case A Dorian. We would look at this as the IIm and not the Im of A dorian
This does make perfect sense as you could have so many different numbers for different modes.
