They often end on transition chords. Mostly sus7 chords, or major 7th chords...

George ended many songs with a 6th or 9th chord.
As to Twist and Shout:
To play this song along with the record tune down a half step.
(A = 430).
The ending Chord in many song books is given as a Dmaj9 but this is
wrong since it is plain there is no C# in the songs ending.
In live gigs John played a D7 at the 10th fret and George played a
D9 at the 5th fret.

D9 D7
(Here George usually used)
(his thumb to get the A at)
(the 5th fret on the E string)
George and Pauls ascending bass line followed by the blending of the
sounds of these two chords is what gives this song its characteristic
Beatles sounding ending.

ending a lot of their early songs in their signature transition chord that
I noticed a long time ago. I was listening to the early tapes of the
Beatles, w/Sheridan, and Beat Bros, and "Why" was ending. Right when I
read the last word of the last message of that subject "Why" ended with
that signature chord. Pretty koinkydinkle, ya think?

Othen there are added 6th and 9th. For example, a Eadd6add9 (or whatever
you call it, for me it is a Mi6/9 :-) ) is

I believe T&S ends on a 6th chord.

"Twist and Rut" ends on a D9 : x54555
"She Loves You" and "Help" both end on 6th chords: G6 and A6 respectively.
"No Reply" ends on a C6/9 : x32233

As a guitarist of many years standing, it has always amazed me that the
Beatles used such rich chord structures in their earliest of material. Listen,
for example to "If I Fell" - simply wonderful, and the sort of thing you'd
expect from some jazz guys who'd been aroundthe traps for years, not from a
bunch of self taught guys in their early twenties. I suspect that their
influeneces of some of the cover versions from pre Cavern days helped a lot. I
mean, to be able to play "Sheik of Araby" or "Red saild in the Sunset" you
need to know more than just E, A and D.

Almost -- according to the Beatles Complete Scores (which, if you wonder
about its accuracy, contains the complete score even for Revolution 9),
the ending of Twist and Shout is as follows: after the ascending trip-
lets of the second-to-last bar and the two snare hits, the final chord:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 10 9 10 9 | 5 5 5 4 | |
X | | | | X | | | | X X
with McCartney playing the D at the tenth fret of his E string.
Altogether, this gives you a D major triad with a minor seventh and a
ninth.
