[Intro] D

[Parte 1] F

    F          C           Bb        F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
         F          C            Dm
You were talking so brave and so sweet
F         C           Bb     F
Giving me head on the unmade bed
          Bb                     C
While the limousines wait in the street

    Dm                         Bb
And those were the reasons and that was New York
        F               Am            Dm
We were running for the money and the flesh
    Bb                           F
And that was called love for the workers in song
         Bb                         C
Probably still is for those of them left

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

[Parte 2]
    F          C           Bb        F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
         F            C           Dm
You were famous, your heart was a legend
    F        C           Bb              F
You told me again you preferred handsome men
        Bb                      C
But for me you would make an exception

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

[Estribillo]
       Bb            F
Oh but you got away, didn't you babe
    F                Am          Dm
You just turned your back on the crowd
Bb                    F
You got away, I never once heard you say
  Bb                F
I need you, I don't need you
  Bb                F
I need you, I don't need you
    Bb                 Dm          C
And all of that jiving around

[Parte 3]
        F          C           Bb            F
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
        F             C           Dm
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
    F          C           Bb            F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
       Bb                                  C
That's all, I don't even think of you that often
