Key Signature
A chord has no key signature of its own, but the G♭ Minor is the tonic (i) chord of Gb Minor, which shares the signature of its relative major, A Major — 3 sharps (F♯, C♯, G♯).
Order of sharps
Sharps are added to a key signature in a fixed order. Each new sharp key adds the next sharp on the list.
