Spacing doesn't indicate timing - I just lined the tab up with the lyrics. 2. Chords are tabbed for their first beat only. The D chord is strummed down, up, down. Note the hammer-on at the end of each measure. 3. Holding the D chord, use your pinky for 3rd fret notes and index finger for 1st fret notes, middle finger for 3rd fret on the A string. 4.

She showed me her room. Isn't it good, Norwegian Wood? She asked me to stay, and she told me to sit anywhere. 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? -------------------------- The sitar is the actual instrument used by George Harrison to play this song. It is the first Beatle's song where it is present. - Stuart Watson Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1996 00:32:15 -0400 From: Laurence Watson Subject: MONEY Dear guitar@nevada.edu, My name is Stuart Watson, and I would like to submit a tabbed-out version of the song Money, by Pink Floyd, to you.
