Some easy Beatles songs?

I’ve got a new guitar student’s third lesson coming up. He knows A D and E so far and he likes the Beatles. Can anyone think of some good Beatles songs (exclusively I-IV-V) for him to practice his changes on? Transcription/tab isn’t necessary (I’ll take care of that), just the titles if you don’t mind. Thanks!

The Beatles had a lot of easy songs, but most have some pretty strange cords in them. I have been learning to play Beatles songs and some of the easiest are:

Back in the U.S.S.R.
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
I’ve just seen a face
Eight Days A Week
