Ben — Yes, as in a G chord played in the key of B. Example:

G major, A major, B major.

This produces a strong chord pattern especially when used at the end of a chorus.

Pop songs that begin in the vi chord (A minor) but for most of the song the key is in C.

I find the Comments as informative as the article here.

I wrote a song that uses exactly that series of chords, G A B in the chorus, for that reason!
