Fa
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
Rem
You were talking so brave and so sweet.
Do Bflat
Giving me head on the unmade bed
Do
While the limousines wait in the street
Rem Bflat
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
Rem
We were running for the money and the flesh
Bflat Fa
And that was called love for the workers in song,
Bflat Do
Probably still is for those of them left.
Bflat Fa
And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
Rem
You just turned your back on the crowd.
Bflat Fa
You got away, I never once heard you say,
Bflat Fa
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
Bflat Dm C (To lead into next verse).
And all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
You were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men,
But for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music."
Then, after the 2nd verse...
Fa
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
Rem
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
Fa
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
Bflat Do
That all, I don't think of you that often.
