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.

What Am I to wake up suddenly and then
F F/C B F Bm B7Enroll in the local college earn me a degree and I could work weekends
Cm B B Bm or B7 (play around)
If I work really hard
Cm B B B7 I could mow your backyard
F F/C B F Bm B7I could Go to Europe, travel with my friends
F F/C B F Bm B7I could blow 1000 deutchmarks to get drunk in a pub with some
Austrailians
Cm B B B7 Cm B B B7 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... :)
F/B Cm7? F F/C FThink never is enough Yeah never is enough
F/Gm Bm B7You never have to Do that stuff
F/B Cm7? F F/C FThink never is enough Yeah never is enough
F/Gm Bm B7You 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
Cm B B B7 Eating in the food court
Cm B B B7 With the old and the bored
Chorus Again!
Bridge
------
F B7The world's your oyster shell
F B7But what's that funny smell
F B7You eat that bivalve anyway
F B7You're sick with Salmonella
F B7 F B7You get your PhD Bow Bappy You Will Be
F B7 FWhen you get a job at Wendy's and are honoured
B7with Employee of The Month
Cm7 B7 F F La Da Da Da Da Da Da
Cm7 B7 F F La Da Da Da Da Da Da
Cm7 B7 F F La Da Da Da Da Da Da

End on a F
