You asked for  just chords, but someone else might want the whole song.
Glen Macon posted it this summer, but the lyrics were off as I recall.
Anyway, here it is correct(I think) except that it is in G instead of D.

.        WE CAN WORK IT OUT              (Beatles)
.
Verse 1:
G             C  G     G            C               F               G
Try to see it my way.  Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
G                C    G
While you see it your way
G               C                F                 G
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
C              G    C              D
We can work it out, we can work it out
.
verse 2:
G                    C  G
Think of what you're saying
G                C                   F                   G
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
G                 C  G
Think of what I'm saying
G              C                F                 G
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight
C              G    C              D
We can work it out, we can work it out
.                Em                                Am B
CHORUS:         Life is very short and there's no time
.          |    B               Em          D  C  D
.          |    For fussing and fighting my friend
.          |    Em                                Am  B
.          |    I have always thought that it's a crime
.          |    B         Em      D     C    D
.          |    So I will ask you once again
G             C  G
Try to see it my way
G              C            F             G
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
G                C    G
While you see it your way
G                     C              F               G
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
C              G    C              D
We can work it out, we can work it out

 Let It be, and Twist and Shout so far;  I want to hold your hand is next
 (All are complete-better than posted if they were posted.)

 and '80s one shot wonders)

 George can pardon Caspar Weinberger, but who will pardon George?
 Will he resign so President Quale (sp?) can do it?
