Umm...... inverting a chord doesn't change the harmony, there guy. It's still a major triad. A second inversion tonic chord is often used as a decoration of the V chord (but this is true in major and minor keys). Is this what you're refering to? If not what are you refering to? Do you want the notation? If so then it would be an upper case Roman Numeral followed by a: 6
4

Maybe I should start this... Although I can't say that I really like this idea for a game.

Anyway, here's my trivia question. How does the seventh degree of a V7 chord typically resolve?
