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.
Bm7?

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.

What am I to wake up suddenly and then
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
I could mow your backyard
I could go to Europe, travel with my friends
I could blow 1000 deutchmarks to get drunk in a pub with some
Austrailians
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... :)
Bm7?
Think never is enough Yeah never is enough
You never have to do that stuff
Bm7?
Think never is enough Yeah never is enough
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
Eating in the food court
With the old and the bored
Chorus Again!
Bridge
------
The world's your oyster shell
But what's that funny smell
You eat that bivalve anyway
You're sick with Salmonella
You get your PhD How Happy You Will Be
When you get a job at Wendy's and are honoured
with Employee of The Month
La Da Da Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da Da
Riff 1 X 2
Chorus X 2
End on a D
