[E]
Goodbye Norma Dean, [A] oh I never knew you at all
You had the [E] grace to hold yourself, but those around [A] you called
They crawled [E] out of the woodwork, and [A] they whispered into your brain
They set you on [E] the treadmill, and they made you change your [A] name
And [B] it seems to me, you lived your life like [E] a candle in the [A] wind
Never [E] knowing who to cling to, when the [B] rain set in
And I [A] wouldn't like to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out long before, [A] the legend ever did
[F#] [E]
[B] [F#m] [E]
Loneliness was tough, [A] tough as rope, you ever played
Hollywood [E] created a superstar, and fame was the [A] price you paid
Even [E] when you died, [A] oh the press still hounded you
All the [E] papers had to say, was that Marilyn [A] was found in the nude
[B] And it seems to me, you lived your life [E] like a candle in [A] the wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to, when [B] the rain set in
And [A] I wouldn't like to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out [B] long before, [A] the legend ever [G#m] did
[E] Goodbye
[B] [F#m] [E]
[E] Norma Jean, though [A] I never knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold yourself, but those around you [A] called
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean, from [A] the young man in the 22nd row
The [E] savior was nothing more than a sexual, horrid guest hour, [A] Marilyn Monroe
[B] And it seems to me, you lived your [E] life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to, [B] when the rain set in
[A] And I wouldn't like to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before, [A] the legend ever did
[F#] Your [E] candle burned out [B] long before, [A] the legend ever did
[G#m] [E]
Goodbye Norma Dean, [A] oh I never knew you at all
