I've noticed that, too. Some songs I write are odd like that, too. I'll upload them when I get a mic that didn't come with my mac.

A great book to check out if you'd like to know about the chords the Beatles used in their writing.

That looks like it comes from "The Complete Scores" of the Beatles (Hal-Leonard), no?

The minor 5 chord that begins the middle eight in I Want to Hold Your Hand - "and when I touch you I feel happy . . ."

in it's day - nothing short of amazing. Nowadays it's so common no one notices.

Er, not sure what you mean really, the melody will dictate what chords will be used, or vice versa. There are numerous examples where they go outside of the key and take the melody in a completely different direction…the drop from D to D minor to get to the bridge of Norwegian Wood always kind of shocks me because it just sounds so easy but it's that change that completely makes that song. Paulsbass mentioned a great one in Here, There and Everywhere.

It's a good idea to get a chord book of the Beatles, I'd recommend this

"Here, there and everywhere" has a unique chord progression.

Some of their early stuff as well, like "There's a place" or "It won't be long".

"When I get home" surprises me each time with that chord near the end of the bridge.

You're right, sometimes the chords are surprising, like in Michele, for example. That's what I love about their music; it wasn't always the generic four-chord tune. They had a pretty solid spectrum of chords. But yeah, tell us what songs you were playing, or what you were surprised at.

Picked up guitar after 20 years. Played along with Beatles using online chords. Break myself in.

First thing I noticed was odd chords. Not weird chords, but chords I didn't expect given the melody. Of course, my surprise should have been, and is, how they stuck that melody on those chords. Many of the chords, just played out, don't suggest the melodies they came up with, at least, not to me; but more to the point, I could not have imagined those melodies even fitting, but they do and very nicely.

Somewhere, in every song, and I attribute it to Paul, is ...
