Chelsea Hotel No. 2 Leonard Cohen

Capo 5th fret

Intro

[C]

I rem[C]ember you w[G]ell in the Ch[F]elsea Hot[C]el

You were talking so br[G]ave and so sw[Am]eet

G[C]iving me h[G]ead on the [F]unmade b[C]ed

While the l[F]imousines wait in the str[G]eet

Th[Am]ose were the reasons and th[F]at was New York

We were r[C]unning for the m[E/B]oney and the fl[Am]esh

And th[F]at was called love for the w[C]orkers in song

Probably st[F]ill is for those of them l[G]eft

Ah but y[F]ou got away, d[C]idn't you babe

You just turned your b[E/B]ack on the cr[Am]owd

Y[F]ou got away, I never once h[C]eard you say

I n[F]eed you, I don't n[C]eed you

And [F]all of that jiving ar[Am]ound[G]

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 "

And then you got away, didn't you babe

You just turned your back on the crowd

You got away, I never once heard you say

I need you, I don't need you

And all of that jiving around

I don't m[C]ean to sugg[G]est that I loved you th[F]e best[C]

I can't keep track of [G]each fallen r[Am]obin

I rem[C]ember you w[G]ell in the Ch[F]elsea Hot[C]el

That's [F]all, I don't even think of you that [G]often
