Hey Mike,
My friend had a motorcycle wreck, and lost a lot of use in his right arm. He said the hardest part was figuring out the chord positions. He knew how to make them, it was just a matter of switching them around. Everyone already said that the tab will be the same for you. I would think the chord diagrams would also be, just done with the right hand instead of the left.

You could try taking a photo of a chord diagram, and then reverse it. I think all you want to do is flip it, you could also get some tracing paper, trace the chord diagrams, and when you flip it over it will show what you need. The letters will be backwards, but at least things will line up for your right hand.

I know it will be quite a task to reteach yourself to use the right hand for chording, and many kudos to you for doing this. keep at it, and let us know if we can do anything else to help you.
