Chelsea Hotel No. 2 Uke tab by Leonard Cohen

C                  G              F               C                   
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
                           Em7                   A
You were talking so brave and so sweet
C                G                F            C
Giving me head on the unmade bed
                  F                              G7
While the limousines wait in the street
Am                                          F
Those were the reasons and that was New York
                 C                Em7                     Am
We were running for the money and the flesh
         F                                           C
And that was called love for the workers in song
                F                                   G7
Probably still is for those of them left

        F                                  C
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe
         C                     Em7             Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F                                           C
You got away, I never once heard you say
F                           C
I need you, I don't need you
F                         C
I need you, I don't need you
         F                      Am G7
And all of that jiving around

         C              G                F            C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
                               Em7                  Am
You were famous, your heart was a legend
         C         G             F                                  C
You told me again you preferred handsome men
          F                                        G7
But for me you would make an exception
       Am                                   F
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
                C                            Em7         Am
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
F                                         C
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
              F                               G7
We are ugly but we have the music"

        F                                  C
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe
         C                     Em7             Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F                                           C
You got away, I never once heard you say
F                           C
I need you, I don't need you
F                         C
I need you, I don't need you
         F                      Am G7
And all of that jiving around
 
           C                G              F                  C
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
                            Em7               Am
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
     C                   G                F             C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
          F                                           G7
That's all, I don't even think of you that often
