Chords with lyrics
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
FF C majorC DmDm
You were talking so brave and so sweet;
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
Giving me head on an unmade bed,
Bb majorBb C majorC
While the limousines wait in the street.
DmDm Bb majorBb
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
FF A minorAm DmDm
We were running for the money and the flesh.
Bb majorBb FF
And that was called love for the workers in song,
Bb majorBb C majorC
Probably still is for those of them left.
Bb majorBb FF
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe,
FF A minorAm DmDm
You just turned your back on the crowd,
Bb majorBb FF
You got away,I never once heard you say:
Bb majorBb FF
"I need you,I don't need you,
Bb majorBb FF
I need you, I don't need you"
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
And all of that jiving around.
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel:
FF C majorC DmDm
You were famous, your heart was a 🏷Legend.
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
You told me again you preferred handsome men
Bb majorBb C majorC
But for me you would make an exception.
DmDm Bb majorBb
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
FF A minorAm DmDm
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
Bb majorBb FF
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
Bb majorBb C majorC
We are ugly but we have the music."
Bb majorBb FF
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe,
FF A minorAm DmDm
You just turned your back on the crowd,
Bb majorBb FF
You got away,I never once heard you say:
Bb majorBb FF
"I need you,I don't need you,
Bb majorBb FF
I need you, I don't need you"
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
And all of that jiving around.
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
FF C majorC DmDm
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
Bb majorBb C majorC
That's all, I don't think of you that often.
