Tom: E
E A
Goodbye Norma Jean, Though I never knew you at all
E/G# A
You had the grace to hold yourself, While those around you crawled
E A
They crawled out of the woodwork, And they whispered into your brain
E/G# A
They set you on the treadmill, And they made you change your name
B B7 E A
"And it seems to me you lived your life, Like a candle in the wind
E B
Never knowing who to cling to, When the rain set in
A C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, But I was just a kid
B A
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever will
( A E/G# F#m E )
E A
Loneliness was tough, The toughest role you ever played
E A
Hollywood created a superstar, And pain was the price you paid
E A
Even when you died, Oh the press still hounded you
\ E A
All the papers had to say, Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
B B7 E A
"And it seems to me you lived your life, Like a candle in the wind
E B
Never knowing who to cling to, When the rain set in
A C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, But I was just a kid
B A
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did
( A E/G# F#m E )
E A
Goodbye Norma Jean, Though I never knew you at all
E/G# A
You had the grace to hold yourself, While those around you crawled
E A
Goodbye Norma Jean, From the young man in the 22nd row
E A
Who sees you as something as more than sexual, More than just our Marilyn Monroe
Chorus
B B7 E A
"And it seems to me you lived your life, Like a candle in the wind
E B
Never knowing who to cling to, When the rain set in
A C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, But I was just a kid
B A
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did
( A E/G# F#m E )
B A
Your candle burned out long before, Your legend ever did
