**CHEATER ALERT**
I looked these up, as I admitted I would do.
First of all, there were no fully diminished seventh chords that I could find in any Beatles songs.
However, there were several diminished triads out there, as listed by composer:
Blue Jay Way - C dim (George)
I Want to Tell You - B dim (George)
If I Fell - F dim (John)
Because - D dim (John)
Michelle - D dim and B dim (Paul)
P.S. I Love You - C# dim (Paul)
You Won't See Me - D dim (Paul)
You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) - G# dim (all Beatles)
Then, there were a couple of Paul's songs with half-diminished seventh chords (minor seventh with flat 5):
Carry That Weight - Bmin7(b5)
You Never Give Me Your Money - Bmin7(b5)
If anyone asks about augmented chords, somebody else will have to look up that one....
