T1: Jared Vigneault, ninedaywonder@netscape.net, 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 e---------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------| G-------2-----------------------------------0---------0---| D--0-0--0-------------0-------2-------------0---------2---| A------------------2--2----0--0-------------------2---0---| E---------------------------------------3-3-------0-------| What am I to wake up suddenly and then

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 ^Emdo that ^A7stuff D/A Bm7' D G/B G Think never is enough Yeah never is enough

You never ^G/F#have to ^Emdo that ^A7stuff 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
