Ill Take Today

I'll Take Today - Ty England

---------------

INTRO: E B A E (x2)

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

CHORUS: 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

INTRO (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

SOLO (B C#m A E B C#m A B)

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 E major scale, which is, of course, spelled E F# G# A B C# D#.

During the verse I play E/G# which 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 G# note or I play arpeggios throughout

the verse and then strum the chords in the chorus. If I play arpeggios, I

usually play: E(022100), B(x2444x), F#m(xx4222), E/G# (xx6450) and A(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...
