Intro:

                                                   Strum        Strum                Strum                 Strum  5 10 4 2                                  

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...

                                                Strum               Strum                Strum         Strum  5 10 4 2                                      
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood? 


She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,

                                                                          13 13 14 15
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

 

                                   Strum               Strum                Strum           Strum  5 10 4 2                                    
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine

                                             Strum           Strum           Strum                   Strum  5 10 4 2                                    
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed" 


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 12 12 13 14

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown

13 13db 13ub 11 10 8 11 10 7 5 10 4 2

So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
