: The Guitar chords for many of the beatles song are very simple,

: A lot of these songs follow a first, fifth and seventh chord progression.
: Just pick the key you want and play away.

: e.g.

: key of D =     D     G      A
: key of A =     A     D      E
: key of C =     C     F      G

You mean a first, fourth, fifth progression, to fit your examples --
commonly referred to as the IV-V-I progression.

: Early songs were very popular in this style as it follows the Fiftys era
: (these chords were used a lot).

: Late songs were to John's quick songwriting to make up from Pauls
: talented and thoughtful planning of the songs he wrote. John just picked
: a few interesting lyrics to follow these chords (as seen on the LET IT BE
: album).
: e.g. Get Back(john)   as opposed to       Let it be(paul)

Paul wrote Get Back.
