[Intro:]
B A E B E
[Verse I:]
E
Goodbye Norma Jean,
A
though I never knew you at all
E
You had the grace to hold yourself
A
while those around you crawled
E
They crawled out of the woodwork
A
and they whispered into your brain
E
They sent you on a treadmill
A
and they made you change your name
[Chorus:]
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never knowing who to cling
B
to when the rain set in
A
And I would have liked
C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
B
Your candle burned out long before
A E
your legend ever did
[Intro:]
E B A E B
[Verse II:]
E
Loneliness was tough
A
the toughest role you ever played
E
Hollywood created a superstar
A
and pain was the price you paid
E
And even when you died,
A
oh, the press still hounded you
E
All the papers had to say
A
was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[Chorus:]
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never knowing who to cling
B
to when the rain set in
A
And I would have liked
C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
B
Your candle burned out long before
A E
your legend ever did
[Intro:]
E B A E B
[Verse III:]
E
Goodbye Norma Jean,
A
though I never knew you at all
E
You had the grace to hold yourself
A
while those around you crawled
E
Goodbye Norma Jean,
A
from a young man in the twenty second row
E
Who sees you as something more than sexual
A
more than just our Marilyn Monroe
[Chorus:]
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never knowing who to cling
B
to when the rain set in
A
And I would have liked
C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
B
Your candle burned out long before
A E
your legend ever did
[Ending:]
B
Your candle burned out long before
A E
your legend ever did
