[Verse]
Ab                  Db                  
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Ab                        Eb     Fm   
You were talkin' so brave and so sweet
Ab             Db               
Givin' me head on the unmade bed
                          Eb           
While the limousines wait in the street
Fm                        Db                   
And those were the reason and that was New York
   Ab                         Fm           
We were runnin' for the money and the flesh
Db                       Ab                     
And that was called love for the workers in song
Db                    Eb                
Probably still is for those of them left


[Chorus]
Db                         Ab      
Ah but you got away didn't you babe
                             Cm     Fm   
Ah you just turned your back on the crowd
Db                      Ab                
■  You got away I never once heard you say
  Db         Ab         Db 
I need you I don't need you
                        Ab 
I need you I don't need you
Db                     Fm     Eb
And all of that jiving around ■ 


[Verse]
Ab                  Db              
I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
Ab                         Eb    Fm    
You were famous your heart was a legend
Ab                    Db                    
You told me again you preferred handsome men
                          Eb          
But for me you would make an exception
Fm                         Ab           Db     
And in clenching your fist for the ones like us
Ab                       Fm               
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
Db                 Ab                      
You fixed yourself you said Well never mind
Db                 Eb            
We are ugly but we have the music


[Chorus]
Db                    Ab             
And then you got away didn't you baby
                                Fm       
Ah you just turned your back on the crowd
Db             Ab                      
You got away I never once heard you say
Db           Ab            
I need you I don't need you
Db                      Ab 
I need you I don't need you
Db              Fm            Eb
And all of that jiving around ■ 
  Ab                    Eb     Db                
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
Ab                                Fm   
I don't keep track of each fallen robin
Ab                     Db                  
■  I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Db                   
That's all my darling
                                     Eb
I don't even think of you that often ■ 


[Outro]
