Chord progressions are central to most modern European-influenced music and create cyclic or sectional musical forms.
The most common chord progressions in Western classical and pop music are based on the first, fourth, and fifth scale degrees (tonic, subdominant and dominant); see three chord song, eight bar blues, and twelve bar blues.

 Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Drive My Car"
Chords rooted on only five different root notes chords are used in the whole song: D, G, A (with also the occasional suggestion of a minor), b, and e.
The chord I've labeled as a-minor in the seventh measure has such a prominently dissonant F-natural in the vocal part that it's hard to tell if there is actually an E-natural buried somewhere in the mix.
The lead guitar appears in the intro, solo, and outro with an intensity that practically upstages the lead vocal for both lyricism and dissonance.
