Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Chelsea Hotel (Guitar)

E B A E
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,

E B C#m
you were talking so brave and so sweet,

E B A
giving me head on the unmade bed,

E A B
while the limousines wait in the street.

C#m A
Those were the reasons and that was New York,

E B C#m
we were running for the money and the flesh.

A E
And that was called love for the workers in song

A B
probably still is for those of them left.

Cm A
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,

E B Cm
you just turned your back on the crowd,

A E
you got away, I never once heard you say,

A E
I need you, I don't need you,

A E
I need you, I don't need you

A C#m                       B
and all of that jiving around.

E B A E
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

E B C#m
you were famous, your heart was a legend.

E B A E
You told me again you preferred handsome men

A B
but for me you would make an exception.

C#m A
And clenching your fist for the ones like us

E B C#m
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,

A E
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,

A B
we are ugly but we have the music."

Cm A
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,

E B Cm
you just turned your back on the crowd,

A E
you got away, I never once heard you say,

A E
I need you, I don't need you,

A E
I need you, I don't need you

A C#m                       B
and all of that jiving around.

E B A E
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,

E B C#m
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.

E B A E
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,

        A                                 B
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
