Chelsea Hotel No 2 by Leonard Cohen - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Leonard Cohen Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse 1]
    C          G           F             C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
                    G            Am
You were talking so brave and so sweet
C         G           F           C
Giving me head on the unmade bed
          F                      G
While the limousines wait in the street
Am                         F
Those were the reasons and that was New York
        C               Em/B          Am
We were running for the money and the flesh
    F                            C
And that was called love for the workers in song
         F                          G
Probably still is for those of them left


[Chorus]
        F             C
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe?
                     Em/B        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    G
And all of that jiving around


[Verse 2]
    C          G           F             C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
                      G           Am
You were famous, your heart was a legend
    C        G                  F            C
You told me again you preferred handsome men
        F                               G
But for me you would make an exception
    Am                          F
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
         C               Em/B       Am
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
    F                          C
You fixed yourself, you said: "Well, never mind
       F                     G
We are ugly, but we have the music"


[Chorus]
         F             C
And then you got away, didn't you baby?
                     Em/B        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    G
And all of that jiving around


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