Yes, but that is the exception for Beatles songs. Beatles chord progressions are very imaginative and use chords that aren't just the "cowboy" chords Noel uses. Not that it bothers me because the man can write amazing melodies that go over them but imagine what he could do if he knew more chords. Pretty sure Noel does actually know more chords than G, C and D, like. The chord progression in Lets All Make Believe is up there melodically with the best of them. Absolutely beautiful. And heck, even Magic Pie, for all its faults, has a glorious progression. Would agree. Noel has a few songs that use a few "million dollar" chords.

Most you'll obviously find in Jazz, but I also include anything that's a unique voicing too. The 1 chord he raves about in Let There Be Love would be an example. I think it's a Bb9. In Let's All Make Believe he has an instance of an augmented chord, I believe.

Yeh, I hated learning that chord in LTBL, and tbf I still can't do it easily while quickly transitioning to it. It's the one he 'learnt from Weller' that they discuss in a 1998/1999 interview, and obviously he'll have written LTBL around that time.
