The opening chord? Can anyone name it?
Well, I immediatelly thought of The Beatles, A hard days night. Read somewhere that it is a combination chords played by Harrison and Lennon with bass note by Mc Cartney. Base is an F.
You are exactly right - although I was not aware of that connection when writing. I believe George Martin may have contributed some piano to that chord as well. Also I think that chord may have evolved from strumming all 6 open strings of the guitar at the same time.

I use a mix of Butter-Legato and Lyric A samples from the EWQLSO library.
Trivia question. The opening chord? It is an iconic chord heard at the beginning of a very famous pop song of the early 1960s. Can anyone name it?
