Subject: I ll Take Today by Ty England
I ll Take Today - Ty England
---------------
INTRO: (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
CHORUS
SOLO ( )
Memories may find me but they ll always be behind me
I ll take today over yesterday anyday
INTRO
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/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: (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...
