Barenaked Ladies – Never Is Enough (Guitar Tab)

T1: Jared Vigneault, [email protected], Barenaked Ladies, Never Is Enough, 09/07/99 S1: Really cool song. Some parts are wrong or missing, but you get the idea., capo III Riff 1 ------ This is the opening riff. Much of the verses are based on this, but simplified. I have no idea what that second chord is in this one.

        D/A      Bm7?    D        G/B         G        G/F# Em  A7

Verse 1 ------- The 2nd part of the verse is the same style, just different chords. And the last chord of the second part, again, not sure what it is.

        D         G/B         A         G        Em   A7

What am I to wake up suddenly and then D G/B A G Em A7 Enroll in the local college earn me a degree and I could work weekends Bm A E Em or E7 (play around) If I work really hard Bm A E E7 I could mow your backyard D G/B A G Em A7 I could go to Europe, travel with my friends D G/B A G Em A7 I could blow 1000 deutchmarks to get drunk in a pub with some Austrailians Bm A E E7 Bm A E E7 Buy a giant backpack Sew a flag on the back Chorus ------ This is a cross between the Main Riff (Riff 1) and the verse riff. Try it with both and see which fits better. I think it works best with Riff 1, banged out a bit more. Just play around till it sounds cool, it's something like what I've got here... :) D/A Bm7? D G/B G Think never is enough Yeah never is enough G/F# Em A7 You never have to do that stuff D/A Bm7? D G/B G Think never is enough Yeah never is enough G/F# Em A7 You never have to do that stuff Riff 1 Do De Do... etc. Verse 2 ------- This is a tad more beefed up than verse one. In fact, ignore the verse 1 riff, just play Riff 1 It's harder to sing over, but it's what they're playing here. Riff 1 I've never had to spend a summer planting trees Riff 1 I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch doubled over on my hands and knees Riff 1 I've never spent a single day in retail Riff 1 Telling people what they want to hear Telling people anything to make a sale Bm A E E7 Eating in the food court Bm A E E7 With the old and the bored Chorus Again! Bridge ------ G A7 The world's your oyster shell G A7 But what's that funny smell G A7 You eat that bivalve anyway G A7 You're sick with Salmonella G A7 G A7 You get your PhD How Happy You Will Be G A7 G When you get a job at Wendy's and are honoured A7 with Employee of The Month Bm7 A7 G D La Da Da Da Da Da Da Bm7 A7 G D La Da Da Da Da Da Da Bm7 A7 G D La Da Da Da Da Da Da Bm7 A7 Cadd9 La Da Da Da Da Da Da Riff 1 X 2 Chorus X 2 End on a D Any Comments, I know some parts are wrong so suggestions too,- [email protected]
