A Little Is Enough Pete Townshend
[G(D]You can never [D]catch it up[AD], so I'm [D]
[G(D]Hanging [D]on to you as th[AD]ough eternity beckoned, but it's
[Em7]Clear that the match is rough
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
[A7(sus4]After a piece of that diamond in [A7]you, So
[A7(sus4]Keep an eye open, My [A7]
[Bm]Spirit ain't broken, Your
[C]Love's so incredible, Your
[G]Body's so edible, You
[A7(sus4]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is en[A7]ough.
VERSE II: [G(D] [D] [AD] [D] [G(D] [D] [AD]
I'm like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The
[G(D]Perfume nea[D]rly beats the [AD]taste [D]
[G(D]I eat an oyster[D] and I fee[AD]l the contact, But
[Em7]More than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line, that's true, But
[A7(sus4]All I have to have's a littl[A7]e time with you, A
[A7(sus4]Smile sets me reeling, A [A7]
[Bm]Kiss feels like stealing, Your
[C]Love is like heroin, This
[G]Addict is mellowing,
[A7(sus4]I can't pretend that I'm tough,
When just a little is eno[A7]ugh.
*** INSTRUMENTAL BREAK[G(D]: [D] [AD] [D] [G(D] [D] [AD] [D]
Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm (etc, repeated ad infinitum)
Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a
[G(D]Gale blowing[D] in my face, Th[AD]e [D]
[G(D]High wind sca[D]res me[AD] but I need the breeze, And I
[Em7]Can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But
[A7(sus4]Even a hurricane won't turn me [A7]back, You
[A7(sus4]Might be an island, on [A7]the
[Bm]Distant horizon, but the
[C]Little I see looks like
[G]Heaven to me, and I don't
[A7(sus4]Care if the ocean gets rough,
'Cause just a little is[A7] enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
(Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match
[is]rough")
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
[A7(sus4]After a piece of that diamond in [A7]you, So
[A7(sus4]Keep an eye open, My [A7]
[Bm]Spirit ain't broken, Your
[C]Love's so incredible, Your
[G]Body's so edible, You
[A7(sus4]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is en[A7]ough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | (repeat to fade)
*** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.
This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
