Never Is Enough 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
e------2-----2----------2-----2--------------3-----3---3---3---0---| B------3-----3--3-------3-----3---3----------3-----3---3---3---2---| G------2-----2--2-------2-----2---0----------0-----0---0---0---0---| D---0--0--0--0--2----0--0--0--0---0----------0-----0---0---2---2---| A------0-----0--2-----------------2----0-----2--2--2-------2---0---| E-----------------------------------------3--3--3--3---2---0-------|
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]Enroll in the [G/B]local [A]college [G]earn me a degree and I could [Em]work [A7]weekends
Bm A E Em or E7 (play around)
If I work really hard
[Bm] I could [A]mow your [E]backyard[E7]
[D]I could go to [G/B]Europe, [A]travel with my [G]friends[Em] [A7]
[D]I could blow [G/B]1000 [A]deutchmarks to get [G]drunk in a pub with some[Em] [A7]
Austrailians
[Bm] Buy a [A]giant back[E]pack [E7] [Bm] Sew a [A]flag on the [E]back[E7]
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
You never [G/F#]have to [Em]do that [A7]stuff
D/A Bm7? D G/B G
Think never is enough Yeah never is enough
You never [G/F#]have to [Em]do that [A7]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] Eating [A]in the food [E]court[E7]
[Bm] With the [A]old and the [E]bored[E7]
Chorus Again!
Bridge
------
The [G]world's your oyster shell[A7]
But [G]what's that funny smell[A7]
You [G]eat that bivalve anyway[A7]
You're [G]sick with Salmon[A7]ella
You [G]get your Ph[A7]D How [G]Happy You Will [A7]Be
When you [G]get a job at [A7]Wendy's and are [G]honoured
with Em[A7]ployee of The Month
[Bm7]La [A7]Da [G]Da Da Da Da [D]Da
