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.

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.

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
