_ _ Real [F#m] quick I'd like to share [B] why I wrote the [E] yodeling song.
Has everybody heard that?
The story?
Has anybody not heard it?
[B] Oh, okay, well I have to tell [G#m] them why.
Okay.
Okay, here, let me just tell you real quick.
All my life I hated yodeling.
I mean, I hated it.
It just hurt [C#] my ears.
And as I was growing up I always sang.
And my mother, throughout [C] my, even when I was real young, she'd say, you know, [E] you should yodel.
[D#] I'm not yodeling.
I hate yodeling.
I hate yodeling.
So I never would yodel.
Then I grew up singing and I started to sing and I started to yodel.
And I started playing guitar and every once in a while, again, my mother would say, because
she loved yodeling, you know, you should yodel.
And I'd say, I'm not yodeling, Mom, sorry, I don't like it.
So then I started singing professionally.
Again she'd encourage me to yodel, I'm not yodeling.
Well the Lord took my mother home in 1993.
She was diagnosed with cancer and one month later he took her home.
The saddest day of my life.
And not long after that I started singing at the Hyatt Regency in Austin.
_ And I sang in the lobby.
I was there for seven years.
Yeah, seven years.
[F] _ _ Anyhow, people would ask me to yodel and I told them [C#] the same thing, I don't yodel.
Well [D#] this one day these three Japanese men came running up in their suits.
They looked like they had just gotten off the plane.
I mean they were just fresh and they were wearing their business suits and carrying their cases.
And they came running up to me, speaking to me in Japanese.
And I had no [B] idea what they were saying.
They just, blah blah blah, [N] looked at each other and talked to me.
They were all excited.
And I was like, I'm sorry, I don't know what you want.
This is, keep in mind, I'm sitting here singing,
and they've come up to me, talking to me in between songs.
And everyone's looking at us.
And finally, one of them looked at me, and he goes, _
you yodel.
_ _ _ I said, what?
Yodel, you Texas cowgirl, you yodel.
[F] And I just said, I am so sorry, I don't yodel.
And I mean, their [B] faces dropped.
They were so upset.
They were really upset.
So I left there right at that [D#] minute,
and I thought, you know [A#] what, I'm going to have to learn to yodel.
So I went to a [D#] yodeling champion, Jill Jones.
I found her in Wemberley, got a yodeling lesson, learned to yodel.
So from there, I started _ yodeling.
_ _ _ Rest in the district.
I don't want to cry, but then one day it occurred to me, _
[F] _ my mother always wanted me to yodel, and she never heard [C] me yodel.
I was so [F] upset.
I just, [A#] have you all ever had that, an oh my gosh moment, where you just go,
oh my gosh.
[D#] I just cried, because my mother never [C#] heard me yodel.
_ [F] And then I remembered, where it says in the Bible,
since then, we are surrounded by so great a cloud of [D#] witnesses.
Let us throw aside every weight and the sin which [F] so easily entangles,
and let us run with [D#] endurance the race that is set before us,
looking under Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
And I knew that in that cloud of witnesses, my mother was there.
And I felt so much joy.
And then I remembered in the Psalms, I think it's Psalms 151 or 150,
[N] I think there's only 150 of them,
where it says, let everything that has breath praise the [F] Lord.
So I thought, well, if I write [D#] a song, write yodeling for Jesus,
there'll be yodeling in heaven.
So my mom would hear me [F#] yodeling in heaven.
That's the story of the yodeling song.
So let me just teach y'all to yodel real quick.
Everybody repeat after [B] me.
Aloh.
_ _ _ Aloh. _
_ _ _ _ [N] Aloh. _ _
_ _ Alay. _ _ _ _
[F#] I love the [D#] Lord. _ _ _
Oh, come on, y'all.
Put some feeling in it. _ _
[N] Let's try it one more time.
A little feeling.
You're yodeling for Jesus.
Come on now.
This is a praise [F#] song.
Here we go.
[B] Aloh.
_ _ _ Alay.
_ [C#] _
I [F#] love the Lord.
_ I _ _ love the Lord.
I love the Lord. _ _ _
I love the Lord. _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Alay. _ _ _ _
Aloh.
_ [F#] I love the Lord.
I [D#] love the Lord.
[C#] I'm yodeling _ for [F#] my King.
That's how it goes.
Yeah.
Let's speed it up.
Come on, y'all.
[F#] Alay.
I love the Lord.
[C#] I love the Lord.
[F#] I love.
_ _ [B] Alay.
I [F#] love _ the Lord.
[G#m] I'm yodeling for [F#] my King.
Oh, what a day. _
What a day it will be when I see my [C#] mother again.
I [F#] know she'll be, she'll be waiting right there for me
when the Lord says that.
Come on, Ian.
_ There will be hugging in heaven, [B] hugging [F#] in heaven,
hugging in heaven, I [C#] am sure.
[F#] There will be hugging in heaven, [B] hugging [F#] in heaven,
hugging in heaven, I am sure.
Oh, what a day. _
When there's [B] no fear of [F#] tomorrow, all tears and sorrow [C#] washed away.
_ [F#] There'll be no more sadness, [B] only joy [F#] and gladness
[B] when the Lord takes us home one [F#] happy day.
We will be happy in heaven, [Bm] happy [F#] in heaven, _
happy in heaven, I [C#] am sure.
We will be happy in [F#] heaven, happy in heaven, _
happy in heaven, I am sure. _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ Behold, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
we shall [C#] all be _ changed.
[Bm] So let everything that [F#] has breath praise the Lord
with rejoicing praise His holy [C#] _
name.
There _ _ [F#] will be yodeling in heaven, yodeling in heaven,
yodeling in heaven, I am [C#] sure.
There will be yodeling in [B] heaven, yodeling [F#] in heaven,
yodeling in heaven, I am sure.
_ Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. _ _ _
