The iii chord (C minor) functions as a substitute for the I or vi. The IV chord (E unknown) is the subdominant — it adds motion and moderate tension. The V chord (D# unknown) is the dominant — it creates the strongest tension that wants to resolve to the I. The vi chord (E augmented) is the relative minor — it brings emotional color and depth.
