E                                                   D             A     E

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

E                                                             D          A     E

She showed me her room, isn't it good Norwegian wood?

 

       Em                                                                              A

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

    Em                                                                    F#m     B7

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair

 

E                                                D            A    E

I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine

E                                                            D            A     E

We talked until two and then she said it's time for bed

 

(Solo:) 2x - E  D  A  E  D  A  E

 

Em                                                                         A

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh

Em                                                                        F#m     B7

I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

 

E                                                   D             A     E

And when I awoke I was alone this bird had flown

E                                           D         A     E

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