Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
(Lennon/McCartney)
Rubber Soul (1965)
John has a capo on the second fret of that Gibson of his. Clip
yours on and play in D. The signature guitar riff is based mostly
around a D chord--you'll move only your index finger and pinky
until the C chord comes along. I'm tabbing out only the
emphasized strokes here, so remember there is rythmic strumming in
the gaps. George doubles the melody on the sitar.
Sorry, I can't help you there.
Work on this until you can sing the vocal over it too!

[Intro: riff x2]
D D/F# D C G/B D
I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me.
D D/F# D C G/B D
She showed me her room, isn't it good? Norwegian wood.
Dm G
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere.
Dm Em A
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
D D/F# D C G/B D
I sat on her rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
D D/F# D C G/B D
We talked until two and then she said its time for bed.
[intrumental: riff x2]
Dm G
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
Dm Em A
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
D D/F# D C G/B D
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown.
D D/F# D C G/B D
So, I lit a fire, isn't it good? Norwegian wood.
