F C Bb F
I remember you well from the Chelsea Hotel
F C Dm
Your voice was so brave and so sweet
F C Bb F
You giving me head on the unmade bed
Bb C
While the limousines wait in the street
Dm Bb
Those were the reasons that was New York
F A Dm
We were running for the money and flesh
Bb F
And that was called love for the workers in song
Bb C
Probably still is for those of them left
Dm Bb
Then you got away didn't you babe
F A Dm
You just turned your back on the crowds
Bb F
You got away I never once heard you say
Bb F Bb F
I need you I don't need you I need you I don't need you
Bb Dm
And all of that jivin' around
I remember you well from 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 fists for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
Then you fix yourself you say Well never mind
We are ugly but we have the music
Then you got away didn't you babe
You just turned your back on the crowds
You got away I never once heard you say
I need you I don't need you I need you I don't need you
And all of that jivin' around
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 every fallen robin
F C Bb F
But I remember you well from the Chelsea Hotel
Bb C
That's all I don't think of you that often
