Intro C  G6  C 

C                
Goodbye, Norma Jean 
              F 
Though I never knew you at all 
                     C 
You had the grace to hold yourself 
                          F 
While those around you crawled 

                         C 
They crawled out of the woodwork 
                  F 
And they whispered into your brain 
                     C 
They set you on the treadmill 
                               F 
And they made you change your name 

      G 
And it seems to me you lived your life 
        C                F 
Like a candle in the wind 
       C 
Never knowing who to cling to 
          G 
When the rain set in 
    F                            G 
And I would have liked to have known you 
           Am 
But I was just a kid 
                       G 
Your candle burned out long before 
      F                C 
Your legend ever did 

G      F     C    G 
Haaaaa haaaaa 

C 
Loneliness was tough 
                 F 
The toughest role you ever played 
                    C 
Hollywood created a superstar 
                           F 
And pain was the price you paid 
              C 
Even when you died 
                 F 
Oh, the press still hounded you 
                C 
All the papers had to say 
                        F 
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude 

    G 
And it seems to me you lived your life 
        C                F 
Like a candle in the wind 
       C 
Never knowing who to cling to 
          G 
When the rain set in 
    F                            G 
And I would have liked to have known you 
           Am 
But I was just a kid 
                       G 
Your candle burned out long before 
      F                C 
Your legend ever did 

C                
Goodbye, Norma Jean 
              F 
Though I never knew you at all 
                     C 
You had the grace to hold yourself 
                          F 
While those around you crawled 

C 
Goodbye Norma Jean 
                           F 
From the young man in the twenty second row 
                           C 
Who sees you as something more than sexual 
                       F 
More than just our Marilyn Monroe 

G 
And it seems to me you lived your life 
        C                F 
Like a candle in the wind 
       C 
Never knowing who to cling to 
          G 
When the rain set in 
    F                            G 
And I would have liked to have known you 
           Am 
But I was just a kid 
                       G 
Your candle burned out long before 
      F                C 
Your legend ever did
