I sat on a rug, biding my time drinking her wine. We talked until two, and then she said it's time for bed. [repeat 1st measure] She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath. And, when I awoke, I was alone this bird had flown. So, I lit a fire, isn't it good Norwegian wood. [repeat 1st measure] notes: 1. Spacing doesn't indicate timing - I just lined the tab up with the lyrics. 2. Chords are tabbed for their first beat only. The D chord is strummed down, up, down. Note the hammer-on at the end of each measure. 3. Holding the D chord, use your pinky for 3rd fret notes and index finger for 1st fret notes, middle finger for 3rd fret on the A string. 4. Have an accompanist play along without a capo: E D E D [bridge] Em A Em A B Alternate TAB: Norwegian Wood This song is in E; you can play it in D with a capo, but I don't have one, so I figured out this version. It lets you play the rhythm and lead guitar parts at the same time: e --0---0---0---0---0---x---x---x---0---x---x---x---0----------| B --0---2---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----------| G --1---1---1---2---1---2---2---0---1---2---2---2---1----------| D --2---2---2---2---2---4---4---4---2---0---0---0---2----------| A --2---2---2---2---2---0---0---0---2---4---4---4---2----------| E --0---2---0---2---0---x---x---x---0---x---x---x---0----------| | | I once had a girl or shld I say she once had me -> (c) B (c) G (c) D G G (c) D G A (c) Accent the string listed below the word to bring out the melody.
