   C                      F             C 
        I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, 
                            G             Am 
        You were talking so brave and so sweet; 
        C         G           F           C 
        Giving me head on the unmade bed, 
                  F                       G 
        While the limousines waiting the street. 
        Am                         F 
        Those were the reasons and that was New York, 
                C               E/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. 



            F             C 
           Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe, 
                                 E/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" 
               F                   Am       G 
           And all of that jiving around. 

      C          G           F             C 
         I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel: 
                               G           Am 
         You were famous, your heart was a legend. 
             C        G                  F            C 
         You told me again you preferred handsome men 
                 F                               G 
         But for me you would make an exception. 
             Am                          F 
         And clenching your fist for the ones like us 
                    C             E/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." 


           F               C 
           And then you got away, didn't you baby, 
                               E/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" 
               F                   Am       G 
           And all of that jiving around. 



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