Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Yeah she's  the one, the one  I told  you all  about
 Yeah it was serious, but  it was long  ago
 She just might walk over  here and give  me a kiss for old  times
 But don't you worry  dear, old  times next to you  can never come close
 
 I'll take today over yesterday anyday
  I'll take lyin'  in your arms  tonight over  and above any love  I've known
  Memories  may find  me but they'll always  be behind  me
  I'll  take today  over yesterday  anyday
 play only once)
 I'd be lying if  I tried  to tell  you now
 That I never loved  her and she never  even crossed  my mind
 But darling that was yesterday  and I  don't wanna go back
 Right here is where I'm gonna  stay with you  in each tomorrow  of my life
)
 Memories may find  me but they'll always  be behind  me
 I'll take today  over yesterday  anyday
 Ok, so there you have it. This is a killer song and it is also very easy to
 play. There may be some mistakes here because I posted it without listening
 to it while I was writing but I don't think so. I also figured out the piano
 part (and arranged it for guitar) and the guitar solo but I'm not gonna post
 them for the moment. Anyway, they're both fairly easy and are played using
 the  major scale, which is, of course, spelled .
 During the verse I play E/Gwhich I've seen presented often with impossible
 fingerings such as 422100. So, I either play an open position E chord and have
 somebody (possibly a bass player) play a Gnote or I play arpeggios throughout
 the verse and then strum the chords in the chorus. If I play arpeggios, I
 usually play: (022100), (x2444x), (xx4222),  (xx6450) and (x07650).
 This is the way I play it but of course it is just one of the many ways to do
 it, so feel free to change it around and experiment and maybe let me know if
 you have comments, corrections, suggestions or any request...
