[B] [A] [E] [F#m]
[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye, Norma Jean
Though I [A] never knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold yourself
But those around you [A] called
They crawled out [E] of the woodwork
And they [A] whispered into your brain
They set you on the [E] treadmill
And they made you change your [A] name
[B] And it seems to me
You lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
Never [E] knowing who to cling to
When [B] the rain said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
A candle burned out [B] long before
[A] A legend ever
[E] [A] did
[E]
[B]
[A] [E] [F#m] [E]
[B] [E] Down the deathless turf
[A] Toughest road you ever played
Hollywood created [E] a superstar
Fame was the price [A] you paid
Even [E] when you died
All [A] the prayers still hounded you
All the favors [E] had to say
Was that Marilyn was [A] found in the nude
And [B] it seems to me
You lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
When [B] the rain said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
A candle burned [B] out long before
[A] A legend ever [E] did

[E]
[B] [A] [E] Goodbye [F#m]
[E] [B]
[E] Norma Jean
Though I [A] never knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold yourself
By those who rounded [A] the hall
Goodbye
[E] Norma Jean
But for your man [A] in the 22nd row
He'll see if you [E] were something more than sexual
Or if you guessed I were [A] Marilyn Monroe
And [B] it seems to me
You lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
When [B] the rain said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you
But I was just [C#m] a kid
A candle burned out [B] long before
