[B]
Okay, thank you. Merci.
[A] [E]
[B] [E] Goodbye Norma Jean
[E] Though I [A] never knew you at all
You had the rest [E] of old yourself
While those around you [A] called
They crawled out [E] of the woodwork
And they [A] whispered into your brain
They set you on [E] the treadmill
And they made you change your [A] name
[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 set in
And [A] I would have liked to know you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out [G#m] long before
[A] The legend ever did
[E]
[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] Loneliness was tough
The toughest [A] role you ever played
Hollywood [E] created superstar
And fame was the [A] price you paid
Even [E] when you died
Oh [A] the press still handed you
All the papers [E] that you saved
The Marilyn was [A] found in the dead
[B] It seems to me you lived your [B] life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
When the [B] rain set in
And I [A] would have liked to know you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before
[A] Your legend ever did
[E]
[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I [A] never knew what all you had
[E] Told you said
But those around you [A] cried
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in [A] the 22nd row
Who sees you as something [E] more than sexy
More than just our [A] Marilyn Monroe
[B] Seems to me you lived your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
When the [B] rain set in
And I [A] would have liked to know you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before
[A] Your legend ever did
[G#] And [A] I would have liked to know you
But [C#m] I was just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before
Your [A] legend ever did
