I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
C               G                Am
You were talking so brave and so sweet
C               G                F       C
Giving me head on the unmade bed
C               F               G
While the limousines wait in the street
Am                      F
Those were the reasons and that was New York
C        C/B                    Am
We were running for the money and the flesh
F                               C 
And that was called love for the workers in song
F                       G
Probably still is for those of them left

Am                      F
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe
C       C/B             Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F               C
You got away, I never once heard you say
F               C
I need you, I don't need you
F               C
I need you, I don't need you
C       C/B             Am
And all of that jiving around




C               G               F        C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
C               G                Am
You were famous, your heart was a legend
C               G                F       C
You told me again you preferred handsome men
C               F               G
But for me you would make an exception

Am                      F
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
C        C/B                    Am
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
F                               C
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
F               G
We are ugly but we have the music"

Am                      F
And you got away, didn't you babe,
C       C/B             Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F               C
You got away, I never once heard you say,
F               C
I need you, I don't need you
F               C
I need you, I don't need you
C       C/B             Am
And all of that jiving around

C               G               F        C
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
C               G                Am
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
C               G                F       C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
C               F               G
That's all, I don't even think of you that often
