I love yodeling and this is the perfect song to practice on. :o)
I haven't been able to get the rhythm perfectly, I think probably 
just because I've been too lazy to really concentrate on it. Anyways, I
THINK
she's accenting the top strings maybe once or twice and then giving the 
guitar a couple up-strokes.

Verse:
 A                              E 
Up on a mountian so gay and so free... heh heh
                                    A
there is a young man waiting there for me.
                                                            E
I know in this lake we're drifting with the tide and  
                                           A
[we'll] hear those chime bells ring.

Pre-Chorus:
                                       E   <--change to E towards the
begining of yodel.
Chime Bells are ringing...((yodel))
                                                 A  <--change to A
towards
the end of yodel.
Mocking birds are singing...((yodel))
                           E
Hush little lover...((yodel))
                           A
Upon a summers eve...

Chorus:
((long yodel))

Verse:
Well, the moon beams were shining, 
                                        ((stop playing, and slap your
hand
[quietly] over the 
                                               guitar to mute the
strings..then pucker up!))
as I kissed him there........... <>
The birds were singing and feelin'
a bit of 'e  yeah, yeah.  ((??))
Hey little star, well, they twinkle upon the AM
Heaven will be smiling...

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)....faster?

1(Faster Yodel)....faster?

2(FASTER YODEL)....faster??

3(FASTEST YODEL)

((More yodeling))


**********

Chords: This is very simple. It's by far the simpliest thing I've ever
        seen Jewel do...(That is, as far as guitar work goes) Her VOICE,
        on the other hand, COMPLETELY makes up for the "bland" guitar
chords.
        ((Did I just say "bland"? How can you even call THAT bland?? 
        She truly is amazing.))

Chord Progression:
        
     (Verse)     A - E    (X4)    
...then play     A         (X1)

     (Chorus)    D - A - E - A    (X2)


In the "faster yodel" (#1) She YODELS faster but her guitar tempo does
not change. It DOES change in FASTER YODEL (#2), so adjust your tempo.
And in FASTEST YODEL (#3) obviously, she stops playing the guitar.
When she starts back up again...((More yodeling))...shes using the same 
chord progression as the chorus.

           
            Hope this hasn't completely confused you!! I tried!
