Standard Tuning

This Chord sheet isn’t supposed to be a carbon copy. I switched some stuff around, and
is my own interpretation. The chords are bit more jazzy, and I wrote it so you don’t need
capo. This will sound great for anyone who does solo acoustic gigs. Please Rate. Make
you give it a real shot first because once you get it down it will sound great. Also
for all of the parentheses. The chord names looked really confusing without them. Good luck

Verse 1

(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 I        once   had      a        girl,

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)  (Fill)       (B7 
B13)
 or     should I      say, she once had me..

(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 She      showed me       her      room,

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)     (Fill)    (B7 
B13)
 is-   -n't    it     good,   norwegian wood?

Chorus 1

E-9                                             Amaj9
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,

E-9                                             Amaj9  B/E
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

Verse2

(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 I        sat    on       a        rug,

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)    (Fill)                 
or B13)
 bid-  -ing    my     time,  drinking her wine

(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 We       talked un-     -til      two

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)    (Fill)               
or B13)
 and    then   she    said, "It's time for bed"

Chorus 2

E-9                                                   Amaj9
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.

E-9                                                 Amaj9  B/E
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

Verse 3
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beatles/norwegian_wood_crd_ver_4.html ]
(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 And      when   I        a-      -woke,

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)   (Fill)              (B7or B13)
 I      was    a-    -lone, this bird had flown

(C#-7/B) (C#-)  (C#-7/B) (C#-7/A) (C#-7/G#)
 So       I      lit      a        fire,

(E/F#) (E/A)  (E/G#) (E)   (Fill)        
or B13)
 is-   -n't    it     good, norwegian wood.

Chords-(in order of appearance)

*use your thumb for the root on the 6th string

   (C#-7/B)        (C#-)    (C#-7/A)    (C#-7/G#)    (E/F#)     (E/A)  
(E/G#)         (E)      (B7) *(B13)

e---9--------9-----9--------9---------------------------------7-----9-----|
B---9--------9-----9--------9---------9------9----9-------9---7-----9-----|
G---9--------9-----9--------9---------9------9----9-------9---6-----8-----|
D---9--------11----9--------9---------9------9----9-------9---7-----7-----|
A------------------12-------11--------9------12---11------11--9-----x-----|
E---------------------------------------------------------12--7-----7-----|

    E-9      Amaj9         B/E

e---9-----0------0---|
B---9-----0------0---|
G---9-----6------8---|
D---7-----7------9---|
A---9-----0------9---|
E---0------------0---|

Fill: these are chords, but the names suck. Dmaj(no5th), D5,
      and C#-7(no3rd no5th). I think those are their names, but I might be
      wrong. If you cant get this down, just do the roots.

e-------------|
B-------------|
G-------------|
D-------------|
A--9---12--7--|
E--10--10--9--|

Some variations you can do are:

1. At the end of a verse line you can play a B13 chord instead of B7.

2. You can play an Amaj9/E instead of Amaj9

e--0---|
B--0---|
G--6---|
D--7---|
A--0---|
E--0---|

3. You can do hammer-ons and pull-offs on the 7th fret of the
   high e string, during the Amaj9 chord

e--7p0--|
B--0-0--|
G--6-6--|
D--7-7--|
A--0-0--|
E-------|

4. Finally, you can bar all the way down the 9th fret for all the chords in the verse
the fill and the B7 or B13). It is kind of dissonant, but I like it.
