Official recording(s) (if any): Fatboy, Headseed

•     "Yodelittle" Guitar Tabs    •

Chorus:
    Yodelittle lady who
    Yodelittle lady that I love
    Yodelittle lady who
    Yodelittle lady that I love

Yodelittle lady who gets me up at night
To get a glass of water when you're feeling kind of dry
Yodelittle lady who then asks me with a smile
"Can't you do that later? Let's just hang out for awhile."

(Chorus)

Yodelittle lady who drives me insane
You ask me if I wanna play
And then you quit the game
Yodelittle lady who'll ruin my day
Then ask, "What's the matter hun, is everything okay?"

(Chorus)

Yodelittle lady who butters my bread
And then late at night you butter my bread
Yodelittle lady who makes my bed
The only place that I'd rather be instead

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Yodelittle lady who bakes my bean
Boil my potato and make me scream
Yodelittle lady who makes me sing
Dumb songs of loving - cuz you told me to

(Chorus)

Yodelittle Guitar Tabs
Transcribed by Rob Walker
Based on the Headseed version

section [A] Al starts off with some harmonics. The | markers are to line up the two parts rhythmically: (all harmonics) | |
||--------12-----------------||
||--------------------12-----||
||*-------------------------*||
||*-12----------------------*||
||-----12--------------------||
||--------------12-----------||

After he plays that 4 times alone, Chuck joins in with his part:
Chuck: | |
||--0h-2--------2h-4--0------||
||--------3------------------||
||*-------------------------*||
||*-------------------------*||
||---------------------------||
||---------------------------||

After playing these respective parts 4 times, Al breaks off to this figure, while Chuck continues with the above. Al (these are not harmonics anymore): | |
||--------12-----------------||
||--------------------12-----||
||*-------------------------*||
||*-------------------------*||
||---------------------------||
||---------------------------||

After playing the above 4 times (while Chuck is still playing his same figure), Al proceeds to this (Chuck continues with his same part): | | | | | | | |
|----------------------------------------------14--------16--------14--------16|
|------13--------15--------13--------15-----13--------15--------13--------15---|
|---11--------13--------11--------13-----11--------13--------11--------13------|
|12--------14--------12--------14----------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

============================================================================
section [B] The two parts here, that continue throughout the first part of the song, are very syncopated and quite tricky. I've marked the beat numbers and "&"s to make it easier to see how the two parts interact. Al plays this 4 bar phrase twice
[B1] and [B2]: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
||-------14-------16----14-|------14-------16-------|
||-------13-------15----13-|------13-------15-------|
||*------11-------13----11-|------11-------13-------|
||*------12-------14----12-|------12-------14-------|
||-------------------------|------------------------|
||-------------------------|------------------------|

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
|------14-------16-------|------14-14--------------||
|------13-------15-------|------13-13--------------||
|------11-------13-------|------11-11-------------*||
|------12-------14-------|------12-12-------------*||
|------------------------|-------------------------||
|------------------------|-------------------------||

...while Chuck plays these 8 bars:
[B1] 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
|---------------------7--|------------------------|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5-----5--------|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5-----5--------|
|---------5--------------|---------5-----5--------|
|------------------------|------------------------|
|------------------------|------------------------|

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
|------------------------|------------------------|
|---------5--------5s-7--|---5-----------4s-5-----|
|---------5--------5s-7--|---5-----------4s-5-----|
|---------5--------5s-7--|---5-----------4s-5-----|
|------------------------|------------------------|
|------------------------|------------------------|

[B2] 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
|---------------------7--|------------------------|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5-----4s-5--5--|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5-----4s-5--5--|
|---------5--------------|---------5-----4s-5--5--|
|------------------------|------------------------|
|------------------------|------------------------|

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
|---------------------7--|------------------------|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5--------------|
|---------5-----------7--|---------5--------------|
|---------5--------------|---------5--------------|
|------------------------|------------------------|
|------------------------|------------------------|

Note: After the first few times through these phrases, both of them (Chuck especially) start varying their syncopations somewhat. These are the basic patterns they're playing around - use your ear to add-lib some other stuff that sounds good. singing starts here...
==========================================================================

Chorus: 8 bars - "Yo...Yodelittle lady...Yodelittle lady that I love" (2 times) Al and Chuck play section [B] again during the chorus.
==========================================================================

Verse 1: 8 bars Al plays his [B1] and [B2] parts as above (but much quiter, omitting a few of the chords), Chuck plays his [B2] part twice.
==========================================================================

Chorus: 8 bars Al plays his [B1] and [B2] parts as above, Chuck plays his [B2] part twice. ==========================================================================

section [C] Here Chuck and Al play Chuck's opening section [A] part in unison 4 times. Then, while Chuck plays it another 4 times, Al breaks off and plays this: | | | |
||-4h5-----5h7-4-|-4h5-7---5h7-4--||
||-----7---------|----------------||
||*--------------|---------------*||
||*--------------|---------------*||
||---------------|----------------||
||---------------|----------------||

===========================================================================
section [D] - play 2 times
Al:
||--12--10-12-10-12-10-|-10-------------|---------------------|---------------||
||---------------------|------10--------|-13-12-13-12-13-12---|---------------||
||*--------------------|-----------11---|---------------------|-9-11-{9}{11}-*||
||*--------------------|----------------|---------------------|--------------*||
||---------------------|----------------|---------------------|---------------||
||---------------------|----------------|---------------------|---------------||

Chuck:
||---------------------|----------------|-------------------------|-----------||
||--13--12-13-12-10----|-10-------------|-------------------------|-----------||
||*-----------------12-|-----10h11------|-12-11-12-11-12-11-------|----------*||
||*--------------------|------------12--|-------------------12-10-|-10-12----*||
||---------------------|----------------|-------------------------|-----------||
||---------------------|----------------|-------------------------|-----------||

============================================================================
The next few minutes just repeat the above material like this:
Verse 2: same as before Chorus: same as before section [C] section [D]
Verse 3: same as before Chorus: same as before section [C] ??? Several times through the verse section while Chuck solos???
Chorus: same as before
Verse 4: same as before
============================================================================

The next bit is based on the following chord sequence (played two times):
||---2---------2---------2---------2---2-------||
||---2---------2---------5---------4---2-------||
||*--4---------2---------2---------4---4------*||
||*--4---------4---------4---------4---4------*||
||---2---------2---------2---------2---2-------||
||---------------------------------------------||

Al then starts a very cool tapping figure. The notes under the "T"s are to be tapped with the right
hand index and middle fingers: T T T T T T
||-------------------------------------------||
||-------------------------------------------||
||*--16p2h4-14p2h4-16p2h4-14p2h4-19p4-18p4--*||
||*--16p2h4-14p2h4-16p2h4-14p2h4-19p4-18p4--*||
||-------------------------------------------||
||-------------------------------------------||

... and he continues with variations on this tapping theme for a while. Rob's emerging bassline:
||---------------------------------------------------------||
||---------------------------------------------------------||
||*-------------------------------------------------------*||
||*-------------------------------------------------------*||
||-------------------0---2--4---4-----------------0----2---||
||---0-----0-2-----2--------------0-----0-2-----2----------||

And finally, Chuck's closing lead. This starts at about 6:35 on your CD player. The section is in 6 bar phrases; 4 bars of an amorphous F#sus chord followed by 2 bars of D. I've marked the chord changes above the bars. F# F# F#

The end of the song is section [C] once, followed by [B2].
