[Primeira Parte]

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

         Bb            F
And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
                     Am/E        Dm
You just turned your back on the crowd
Bb                         F
You got away, I never once heard you say
   Bb                F           Bb                F
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
    Bb                 Dm       C
And all of that jiving around

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

And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
                     Am/E        Dm
You just turned your back on the crowd
Bb                         F
You got away, I never once heard you say
   Bb                F           Bb                F
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
    Bb                 Dm       C
And all of that jiving around

F                C           Bb                    F
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
        F             C           Dm
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
    F          C           Bb             F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
     Bb                               C
That's all, I don't think of you that often
