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

  Gm                                                              C
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
 Gm                                                                Am7   D7
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.
