Corrections to existing TABS:
1) Richard Cook's TAB (in D, capo on 2nd fret) lists the chords of the
bridge as:
[Dm]She ... any[G]where
[Dm]I ... [G]chair.[A]
which contains 2 errors. To be played in D the chords should be:
[Dm]She ... any[G]where
[Dm]I ... [Em7]here[A7]
[Dm] [G] [A] I ... chair.
which contains 2 errors. To be played in D the chords should be:
[Dm] [G] She ... anywhere
[Dm] [Em7] [A7] I ... chair.
2) Robert Hall's TAB (in E) lists the chords of the bridge as:
[Am] [D]
She ... anywhere
[Am] [D] [F#]
I ... chair ---> verse (E riff above)
which are in the wrong key. To be played in E the chords should be:
[Em]She ... any[A]where
[Em]I ... [Fm7]chair.[B7]

I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
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:

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:

Accent the string listed below the word to bring out
the melody. (c) means accent the whole chord. Use your
smallest finger to hit the notes during "I once had a girl."

LYRICS: I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room. Isn't it good, Norwegian Wood?
She asked me to stay, and she told me to sit anywhere.
So I looked around, and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
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.
And, when I awoke, I was alone. This bird had flown.
So, I lit a fire. Isn't it good, Norwegian Wood?
