e | ------- | [played] | ------- | B | ------- | [lots,] | ------- | G | --13--- | | --11--- | D | --14--- | [then] | --14--- | A | --14--- | | --14--- | E | ------- | | ------- | This's called an E/B into a B4, I guess. Listen to the song for the timing. E5 B5 x2 [Next, E (played normal, open 022100), then slide into an A, no bar (go ahead and hit all the strings, though).] E5 A5 E5 A5 Whatever you want from me, E5 A5 whatever you want I'll do. E5 A5 Try to squeeze a drop of blood, E5 A5 from a sugarcube. [Play the break like so.] A5 B5 C#5 Eb5 E5 [slide, sucka] A5 E5 A5 Try to be more assured, E5 A5 try to be more right there. E5 A5 Try to be less uptight, E5 A5 try to be more aware. E5 A5 Whatever you want from me, E5 A5 is what I want to do for you. E5 A5 Sweeter than a drop of blood, E5 A5 from a sugarcube. A5 B5 C#5 Eb5 C#5 Eb5 E5 A5 A5 B5 C#5 Eb5 And though I like to act the part of being tough, C#5 Eb5 E5 I crumble like a sugarcube, F#5 for you! [Do the intro thing again! Yeah! Now we're cookin'!] E5 B5 x2 A5 B5 Whatever you want from me, C#5 Eb5 whatever you want I'll do, E5 A5 and I will try! E5 A5 A5 B5 Whatever you want from me, C#5 Eb5 whatever you want I'll do! E5 A5 Try to squeeze a drop of blood, E5 A5 squeeze a drop of blood, E5 A5 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.
