V Major Vs V Minor Chords In Minor Key Songs Options

[evilcman]

Hi everyone,

I was looking up chords for random pop songs on the internet when I found something simple but
interesting. It is a hip hop song, Amazing by Kanye West. It is in C minor. It is something like this:
verse: Cm Gm
chorus: Abm Cm Gm Cm

So, what is intertesting about this is that it contains the V minor chord instead of a V major.
Even though the V major contains a note which is not in the natural minor scale,
minor key songs tend to have V major, which resolves to I minor. I believe that is why
the harmonic minor scale is called harmonic, because the raised 7th of the minor scale
is in the V major chord .

Can someone give me other examples of minor key music containing V minor chords?
