This's called an E/B into a B4, I guess.
Listen to the song for the timing.

E/B  B4 x2

[Next, E (played normal, open 022100), then slide into an A, no bar (go ahead and hit
all the strings, though).]

E   A


E                         A
Whatever you want from me,

E                         A
whatever you want I'll do.

E                              A
Try to squeeze a drop of blood,

E                A
from a sugarcube.

[Play the break like so.]

A  B  C#4  Eb4

E   [slide, sucka]  A

E                      A
Try to be more assured,

E                          A
try to be more right there.

E                      A
Try to be less uptight,

E                    A
try to be more aware.

E                         A
Whatever you want from me,

E                            A
is what I want to do for you.

E                            A
Sweeter than a drop of blood,

E                A
from a sugarcube.


A  B  C#4 Eb4

C#4  Eb4

E                  A


A                   B         C#4             Eb4
And though I like to act the part of being tough,

C#4    Eb4          E4
I crumble like a sugarcube,

F#4
for you!


[Do the intro thing again!  Yeah!  Now we're cookin'!]

E/B  B4 x2


A                        B
Whatever you want from me,

C#4                   Eb4
whatever you want I'll do,

E              A
and I will try!

E   A

A                         B
Whatever you want from me,

C#4                    Eb4
whatever you want I'll do!

E                              A
Try to squeeze a drop of blood,

E                       A
squeeze a drop of blood,

E               A
from a sugarcube.


End on E.

That's all.
A more difficult, but complex-sounding thing to do for the verses would be to go from E
to A to B back to A then back to E.  You have to be faster, but it might be worth it.

See, Ira plays this in open E usually (hence the quicker note changes in the studio
version of this song, and the nutty solo), but he also did a Take-Away Show in which he
played it in standard on an acoustic.  Hit up Google with the following search and I'm
sure a smart kid like you will easily be able to find it:  "Yo La Tengo Take Away Show".


Anywhoo, I've taken what should have been a really simple tab and made it confusing, I'm
sure, so I'll stop typing here.

No I won't.
Yo La Tengo is one of the loveliest bands ever to rock on this earth.
Now I will.
