Ruby: Can I write multi-line string with no concatenation?

Is there a way to make this look a little better?

conn.exec 'select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7 ' +
          'from table1, table2, table3, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, ' +
          'where etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc'

Like, is there a way to imply concatenation?

If you do mind extra spaces and newlines, you can use

conn.exec %w{select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7
  from table1, table2, table3, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,
  where etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc} * ' '

(use %W for interpolated strings)
