(Parlophone pcs 3075)
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said: Baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
She said: Baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said: Listen baby
I've got something to say
Got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver, that's a start
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep yeh beep beep yeh
I once had a girl or should I say
she once had me
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
was not a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine
We've 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 has flown
So I lit a fire isn't it good Norwegian wood
When I call you up your line's engaged
I have had enough so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me, you won't see me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through my hands are tied
I won't want to stay I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And you won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few they are filled
with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes I seems so long girl since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If you won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few they are filled
with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes I seems so long girl since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If you won't see me, you won't see me
Oo oo
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere man, please, listen
You will know what you are missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man, don't hurry
Take your time don't worry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere man, please, listen
You will know what you are missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things we can have
If we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more
If just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it the word is good
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Now that I know that I feel must be right
I mean to show ev'rybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Say the word love say the word love
Say the word love say the word love
Michelle ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you I love you I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need you I need you I need you
I need to make you see
Oh what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will know
What I mean
I love you
I want you I want you I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you
So you understand
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand
My Michelle
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You're tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you,
I could feel my future fold.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You're tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
I met you in the morning,
Waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning,
I can see that I was blind.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
I used to think of no-one else,
But you were just the same,
You didn't even think of me,
As someone with a name,
Did you mean to break my heart
And watch me die, tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
Em H Em E7
Is there anybody going' to listen to my story
Am G H
All about the girl who came to stay?
Em H Em E7
She's a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry;
Am C G
Still, you don't regret a single day.
C D G C D
Ah, girl, girl!
it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Oh girl girl girl
When I think of all these times I've tried so hard
To leave you
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promices the earth to me and I believe her
After all these times I don't know why
Oh girl girl girl
She's a kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Girl girl girl
Was she told when she was young that pain would
lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
his day of leisure
Will she still believe it when he's dead
Oh girl girl girl
I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Your lips are moving
I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing
But the words are not clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me
The same old way
You were above me
But not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you and you're nowhere
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Yeh, I tell you you've changed
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compared with you,
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things who went before,
I know I'll often stop to think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things who went before,
I know I'll often stop to think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
In my life I'll love you more.
It's been a long time,
Now I'm coming back home.
I've been away now.
Oh, how I've been alone.
Wait till I come back to your side;
We'll forget the tears we cried.
But if your heart breaks,
Don't wait, turn me away.
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I don't delay.
Wait till I come back to you side;
We'll forget the tears we cried.
I feel as though you ought to know
That I've been good, as good as I can be.
And if you do I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me.
It's been ... Alone.
Wait till I come back ... Cried.
It's been ... Alone.
But if you heart breaks,
Don't wait, turn me away.
And if you heart's strong,
Hold on, I won't be late.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Well you know that I'm a wicked guy,
And I was born with a gealous mind,
And I can't spend my whole life tryin',
Just to make you toe the line,
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Let this be a sermon,
I mean evrything I said,
Baby, I'm determined,
And I'd rather see you dead.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man,
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.

Is there anybody goin' to listen to my story
all about a girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you [Am]sorry;
still, you don't regret a single day.
Ah, girl! girl!
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her.
After all this time I don't know why.
Ah, girl! Girl!
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
when friends are there, you feel a fool.
Dee dee dee Deedeedeedee deedeedeedee.
When you say she's looking good
she acts as if it's unterstood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool.
Ah, girl! Girl!
Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe when he's dead?
Ah, girl! Girl!

John Lennon's chords: (all played 1st position - WITHOUT A CAPO)

Rhythmically, this should be okay. I transcribed this mostly on my own (I got
chord changes and forms and lyrics from a book, but all of the embellishments
such as capo placement and music beyond standard chording was my own doing), so
there are going to be some things that aren't quite right. For instance,
obviously, if both guitars stand still during the G/A chord, things are going
to be pretty boring, so there is a rhythm pattern beyond what I have, I just
haven't pegged it down precisely. Slight arpeggiations seem to work fine here.
I recently listened to this album again and was blown away by this song. A
true masterpiece, especially the solo. I wish that I could transcribe the
incredible vocal harmonies; alas, there's no way. Still, this should be
plenty. Happy playing!

There are places I'll remember
A F#m
All my life though some have changed
Bm Dm A
Some for ever not for better
A F#m
Some have gone, and some remain.
Bm Dm A
All these places have their moments
F#m Bm
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
G A
Some are dead and some are living
F#m Bm
In my life, I've loved them all
D Dm A
{Repeat main riff, and continue as verse above}
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compared with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Thought I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more
At the end, there is the first riff above, then a higher Dm (played as a bar
chord at the 5th fret) then the riff below:

(Parlophone pcs 3075)
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said: Baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
She said: Baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said: Listen baby
I've got something to say
Got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver, that's a start
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep yeh beep beep yeh
I once had a girl or should I say
she once had me
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
was not a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine
We've 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 has flown
So I lit a fire isn't it good Norwegian wood
When I call you up your line's engaged
I have had enough so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me, you won't see me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through my hands are tied
I won't want to stay I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And you won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few they are filled
with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes I seems so long girl since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If you won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few they are filled
with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes I seems so long girl since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If you won't see me, you won't see me
Oo oo
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere man, please, listen
You will know what you are missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man, don't hurry
Take your time don't worry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere man, please, listen
You will know what you are missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things we can have
If we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more
If just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Do what you want to do
And go where you are going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it the word is good
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thiking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Now that I know that I feel must be right
I mean to show ev'rybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Say the word love say the word love
Say the word love say the word love
Michelle ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you I love you I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need you I need you I need you
I need to make you see
Oh what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will know
What I mean
I love you
I want you I want you I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you
So you understand
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand
My Michelle
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You're tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you,
I could feel my future fold.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You're tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
I met you in the morning,
Waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning,
I can see that I was blind.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
I used to think of no-one else,
But you were just the same,
You didn't even think of me,
As someone with a name,
Did you mean to break my heart
And watch me die, tell me why.
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
Em H Em E7
Is there anybody going' to listen to my story
Am G H
All about the girl who came to stay?
Em H Em E7
She's a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry;
Am C G
Still, you don't regret a single day.
C D G C D
Ah, girl, girl!
it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Oh girl girl girl
When I think of all these times I've tried so hard
To leave you
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promices the earth to me and I believe her
After all these times I don't know why
Oh girl girl girl
She's a kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Girl girl girl
Was she told when she was young that pain would
lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
his day of leisure
Will she still believe it when he's dead
Oh girl girl girl
I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Your lips are moving
I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing
But the words are not clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me
The same old way
You were above me
But not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you and you're nowhere
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Yeh, I tell you you've changed
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compared with you,
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things who went before,
I know I'll often stop to think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things who went before,
I know I'll often stop to think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
In my life I'll love you more.
It's been a long time,
Now I'm coming back home.
I've been away now.
Oh, how I've been alone.
Wait till I come back to your side;
We'll forget the tears we cried.
But if your heart breaks,
Don't wait, turn me away.
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I don't delay.
Wait till I come back to you side;
We'll forget the tears we cried.
I feel as though you ought to know
That I've been good, as good as I can be.
And if you do I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me.
It's been ... Alone.
Wait till I come back ... Cried.
It's been ... Alone.
But if you heart breaks,
Don't wait, turn me away.
And if you heart's strong,
Hold on, I won't be late.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Well you know that I'm a wicked guy,
And I was born with a gealous mind,
And I can't spend my whole life tryin',
Just to make you toe the line,
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Let this be a sermon,
I mean evrything I said,
Baby, I'm determined,
And I'd rather see you dead.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man,
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.

Is there anybody goin' to listen to my story
all about a girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you [Am]sorry;
still, you don't regret a single day.
Ah, girl! girl!
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her.
After all this time I don't know why.
Ah, girl! Girl!
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
when friends are there, you feel a fool.
Dee dee dee Deedeedeedee deedeedeedee.
When you say she's looking good
she acts as if it's unterstood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool.
Ah, girl! Girl!

Did she understand it when they said
that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe when he's dead?

John Lennon's chords: (all played 1st position - WITHOUT A CAPO)

Rhythmically, this should be okay. I transcribed this mostly on my own (I got
chord changes and forms and lyrics from a book, but all of the embellishments
such as capo placement and music beyond standard chording was my own doing), so
there are going to be some things that aren't quite right. For instance,
obviously, if both guitars stand still during the G/A chord, things are going
to be pretty boring, so there is a rhythm pattern beyond what I have, I just
haven't pegged it down precisely. Slight arpeggiations seem to work fine here.
I recently listened to this album again and was blown away by this song. A
true masterpiece, especially the solo. I wish that I could transcribe the
incredible vocal harmonies; alas, there's no way. Still, this should be
plenty. Happy playing!

There are places I'll remember
A F#m
All my life though some have changed
Bm Dm A
Some for ever not for better
A F#m
Some have gone, and some remain.
Bm Dm A
All these places have their moments
F#m Bm
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
G A
Some are dead and some are living
F#m Bm
In my life, I've loved them all
D Dm A
{Repeat main riff, and continue as verse above}
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compared with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Thought I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more
At the end, there is the first riff above, then a higher Dm (played as a bar
chord at the 5th fret) then the riff below:

I once had a girl or should I say she once had me
D D(C#bass) D C G D
She showed me her room isn't it good Norwegian wood
Dm G
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
Dm Em A
Вut I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
D D(C#bass) D C G D
I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine
D D(C#bass) D C G D
We talked until two and then she said it's time for bed
Dm G
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
Dm Em A
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
D D(C#bass) D C G D
Аnd when I awoke I was alone this bird had flown
D D(C#bass) D C G D
So I lit a fire isn't it good Norwegian wood
To play this as it sounds on the record, put a capo on
the second fret.
(So when I write D I mean play a D shape at the capo i.e
two frets higher than it normally is)
