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

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
