Nope - totally incorrect. There’s only 3 chords. (Any 3 will do, just pick some from matt’s list)

Every chord can be played in lots and lots of different ways,all sound slightly different. Plus there are many different types of tunings. If you used jazz or blues chords and wrote a 1,4,5 rock n roll song, it would still be rock n roll. In other words, there are typical rock n roll chords, but any chords in any tuning could be used. There are hundreds of possibilities

What rock n roll chord do you get if you throw a piano down a mine shaft. A Flat Minor.

10cc were clever - an easy way to get loads of chords in one song.....
I Bought A Flat Guitar Tutor:
(A)I bought (A flat)
(ADim)inished responsibilit (E)
You're (D9th) person to (C)
To (Bsus)pended in a (A7th)
(A)Major catastroph (E)
It's (A minor) point but (G)
(G Aug)mented by the (G)sharpness of your
(C) what I'm going through
(A) to (B) with you
In (A flat) by the (C)
And that is the entire song!

Did you know that the sequence C A B B A G E sounds terrible and nobody ever uses it? I tried it once.
