D C D She showed me her room, isn’t it good Norwegian Wood? CHORUS: Dm D She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, Dm Em7 A7 So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair. VERSE: I sat on the 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. VERSE: And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown. So I lit a fire, isn’t it good Norwegian Wood?
