Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
John Lennon & Paul McCartney

The Beatles
Rubber Soul
1965

I bought my first Beatles album a couple months ago,
and this song seemed interesting.  I tried it out the
other day and couldn't get anywhere, but it really came
together quickly (~12 minutes) today.  Hope you enjoy
it!  I even have a sitar tab now, courtesy of Zach.

Capo 2nd

This is the intro and the figure behind the verses.
It is basically a combination of fingerpicking and
strumming.  It may take a while to get, but it is
really fun once you play it.

Here's the sitar; no capo is used in this tab.
Thanks to Zach for this tab.

The verses all have the RHYTHM FIGURE behind them.
During the chorus, just strum the chords shown.

I once had a girl or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room isn't it good Norwegian wood

CHORUS
    Dm                                         G
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
   Dm                                           G      A
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"

CHORUS
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

The ending is just a D:
