Beatles Endings

Below is a look at Beatle song Endings which have been transposed to the key of “E” to permit easier analysis. These guys did an unusually good job of ending their songs, which is probably a result of their years of live performance.

Songs that end with an “E” (“I”) chord:

                          A Day In The Life

Looking an the above list of Beatle Endings, it’s clear that they preferred to end their songs with the “I” chord including “I6”, “IM7”, “I7”, “I6/9”, “I7”, and “I9” chord qualities. My Personal favorite is the "G6-F#7-FM7-EM7" [bIII6-II7-bIIM7-IM7] It Won’t Be Long Ending. A great take off of this type of Ending is “E-F#m7-F7-E” [I-ii7-bII-I] progression.
