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