Chords for Dr Hook - "Yodel" ((Soundstage 1979))

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] I want to do something.
See, we get on TV [Am] once _ [N] _ _ in a while. _
And it's either like 3 o'clock in the afternoon, _ you know, on a talk show,
or 3 o'clock in the morning, you know, one of them rock and roll shows.
But this is usually on at a nice time when everybody's digested their dinners and sitting down.
And I want to take this opportunity to introduce _ somebody to everybody at home and all you folks here.
So, _ everybody that's watching, I'd like you to meet my best friend right here in the whole world.
This is Ray [E] Sawyer. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ He's [Em] just warming up [E] now. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ In case you're interested, _ _ [A#] _ this right here is [C#m] Billy. _
I'm sorry.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't [Bm] yell at him.
_ [E] [G] There's something wrong with Bill.
[E] _ _ _ _ And we're going to take him to the hospital immediately after this [N] taping here.
_ Find out what it is.
Because we've been on the road _ _ _ 300 days a year for 8 years.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ That scares the hell out of him at the holiday inn.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [E] He's not dangerous, though.
It's not, you know, him.
He's not going to hurt nobody.
It's him that we're worried about.
You [Em] know what I mean?
_ You [Bm] all right, Bill? _
_ _ [E] _ _ All right. _ _
_ Leave him [F#] alone, Bill.
_ He's going to rip his pants.
Sometimes [Bm] I wonder about that, boy.
I [Em] bet. _
_ _ You got it?
[B] _ Okay. _
_ Now, [Dm] see, whenever we get_
We've got to keep in mind, [E] you folks right here are getting all excited and stuff and sweating with us.
But there's a whole bunch of people at home watching us on a little thing like this, saying, _ _ what's going on there?
_ You know?
And so we've got to try to convey this to them, you know, because, like, we [N] can't tell how they felt.
We can guess.
We know how you people felt.
But even you folks now, this confuses us because Ray just did two [D] really good yodels in a row.
[N] I mean, he hurt himself. _
Not a wink.
Okay.
_ _ _ [E] _
Terrific.
That's good.
I hope the folks at home went, [Bm] yeah. _
_ _ But, see, when he did them, most everybody said, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ okay. _ _ _
Which leads us to believe one of two things.
[N] Either in this day and age, people are not into yodeling at all. _
_ _ _ _ _ Or in this day and age, people are into yodeling so much _ _ that it's got to be perfect. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
Should _ [D] we trust our insects and say that's [N] exactly it?
Because everybody just said, _ okay. _
Now, what we're going to do, we ain't going to do nothing.
We're going to be like moral support.
But what Ray is going to do, because no matter what you thought up to now, this is bound to grab you.
Ray is going to do _ some Olympic yodeling.
_ _ _ [D] _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now, _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ first, _ _ he's going [E] to do the dangerous [D] _
triple yodel.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] [A#] Okay, for the benefit of the six or seven people left in the country that do not know,
up until about six months [E] ago, the triple [D] yodel was [E] considered the most dangerous thing you could do to your body.
_ And Ray practiced it and practiced it without a net.
_ No net, if he falls, it's all over.
_ _ No athletic support, nothing.
_ [C] _ _ [G#m] _ [E] _ Don't show him, man.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [F#m] And _ then we found out [E] that there was a little old woman _ _ _ in Joliet, Illinois,
_ [N] who could do _ a quadruple yodel.
[Bm] _
We found out.
[A#] _ _ And there's her nephew right [E] here, or somebody.
And we read about it in [D] the Guinness World Book of Records.
And Ray got off the bus just long enough to sit [C#] down with her, and she showed him how to do it, and she [E] passed away.
And that's not funny.
And now Ray is the only person who can still do it.
So, if you're out [Em] there watching, this is Ray Shaw. _
The monkey! _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Doing a dangerous triple yodel.
_ _ _ And then sailing into the amazing _ _ _ quadruple yodel.
Yeah! _
Ray Shaw! _ _ _ _ _ _
