[Verse 1]
(0:16 - 0:31)

E
I once had a girl
                     Bm           E
Or should I say, she once had me?
E                   
She showed me her room
                    Bm           E
"Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?"


[Chorus 1]
(0:32 - 0:47)

    Em                                           A
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
   Em                                           F#5    B5  B                                        
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair


[Verse 2]
(0:48 - 1:03)

E
I sat on the rug
                     Bm       E
Biding my time, drinking her wine
E     
We talked until two
                         Bm       E
And then she said, "It's time for bed"

[Chorus 2]
(1:20 - 1:35)
    
    Em                                               A
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
   Em                                                F#   B5  B
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath


[Verse 3]
(1:36 - 1:52)

E  
And when I awoke
                   Bm        E   Bm                                                       
I was alone, this bird had flown
E
So I lit a fire
                   Bm    E
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
