A Little Is Enough by Pete Townshend Guitar Chords


#——————————————————————————##

Pete Townshend’s

A LITTLE IS ENOUGH
CAPO: 1st Fret
YOU MAY WISH TO DETUNE THE BOTTOM E STRING DOWN ONE TONE TO ‘D’
KEYBOARD INTRO:
D(bass note only, muted with plectrum hand, playing 8th notes) / / / |

/ / / / | G(D) D A(D) | A(D) D |
G(D) D A(D) | / / / / | G(D) D A(D) | A(D) D |
G(D) D A(sus4) | / / / / | / / / / ||

BAND IN:
G(D) / D / | A(D) / D / | G(D) / D / | A(D) / D / ||
VERSE I:
They say that love often passes in a second, and
[G(D)]You can never catch it up[A(D)], so I’m
[G(D)]Hanging on to you as th[A(D)]ough eternity beckoned, but it’s
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 you, So
[A7(sus4)]Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain’t broken, Your
Love’s so incredible, Your
Body’s so edible, You
[A7(sus4)]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enough.
VERSE II:[G(D)][A(D)][G(D)][A(D)]
I’m like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The
[G(D)]Perfume nearly beats the [A(D)]taste
[G(D)]I eat an oyster and I fee[A(D)]l the contact, But
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 little time with you, A
[A7(sus4)]Smile sets me reeling, A
Kiss feels like stealing, Your
Love is like heroin, This
Addict is mellowing,
[A7(sus4)]I can’t pretend that I’m tough,
When just a little is enough.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK[G(D)]:[A(D)][G(D)][A(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 in my face, Th[A(D)]e
[G(D)]High wind scares me[A(D)] but I need the breeze, And I
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 back, You
[A7(sus4)]Might be an island, on the
Distant horizon, but the
Little I see looks like
Heaven to me, and I don’t
[A7(sus4)]Care if the ocean gets rough,
‘Cause just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
(Repeat all chords from “They say that love often passes” . . . “match
rough”)
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I’m
[A7(sus4)]After a piece of that diamond in you, So
[A7(sus4)]Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain’t broken, Your
Love’s so incredible, Your
Body’s so edible, You
[A7(sus4)]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enough.
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.
