Norwegian Wood - mandolin lesson

A lot of people have asked me for tabs to my version of Norwegian Wood. Since I don't know how to write tabs (I'm too lazy) I thought I'd show you how I play it instead.

The main theme of the song is the melody line, which you play while maintaining the G-chord (as shown on the video), then you go on to
Gm-C-Gm-Am7-D7. Then back to the main theme.

That's pretty much it. Good Luck!

EDIT:
Youtube user woolerman http://www.youtube.com/user/woolerman was nice enough to share some tabs he made for this song.

thanks for this. I saw this video a year and a half ago, when I first picked up the mandolin, but there was no way I could have got my fingers to play the chords. Things are different now. Very pleased.
