Chelsea Hotel No. 2 Leonard Cohen

capo on fifth fret

Verse1: C F C

I remember you well in the Celsea Hotel,

You were talking so [G]brave and so s[Am]weet;

[C]Giving me [G]head on the [F]unmade bed,[C]

While the [F]limousines waitin the st[G]reet.

[Am]Those were the reasons and [F]that was New York,

We were [C]running for the [E/B]money and the f[Am]lesh.

And [F]that was called love for the [C]workers in song,

Probably [F]still is for those of them l[G]eft.

Chorus1: F C

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

You just turned your b[E/B]ack on the c[Am]rowd,

[F]You got away,I never once [C]heard you say:

"I[F] need you,I don't [C]need you,

I [F]need you, I don't [C]need you"

And [F]all of that jiving a[Am]round.[G]

Verse2: C G F C

I remember you well in the Celsea Hotel:

You were famous, your [G]heart was a [Am]legend.

You [C]told me a[G]gain you preferred [F]handsome men[C]

But for [F]me you would make an exception.[G]

And [Am]clenching your fist for the [F]ones like us

Who are opp[C]ressed by the [E/B]figures of [Am]beauty,

You [F]fixed yourself, you said, "[C]Well never mind,

We are [F]ugly but we have the [G]music."

Chorus2: F C

And then you got away, didn't you baby,

You just turned your[E/B] back on the[Am] crowd,

[F]You got away, I never once [C]heard you say:

"I[F] need you,I don't [C]need you,

I [F]need you, I don't [C]need you"

And [F]all of that jiving a[Am]round.[G]

Verse3: C G F C

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

I can't keep track of [G]each fallen ro[Am]bin.

I re[C]member you [G]well in the [F]Celsea Hotel,[C]

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