[E] Goodbye Normandy, [A] though I never knew you at all
You had the grace [G#m] to [E] hold yourself with those around [A] you crawl
They crawled [E] out of the woodwork and [A] they whispered into your brain
I set you on [E] the [G#m] treadmill and they made you change your [A] name
[B] And it seemed to me you lived your life like [E] a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to claim [B] when the rain set in
I [A] would have liked to know you, but [C#m] I was just a kid
A candle burned [B] out long before [A] you were even born
[E]
[F#] [E] Loneliness was tough, [A] tough as a road you ever played
Hollywood [E] created a superstar that came with the [A] price you paid
And [E] even when you died, [A] all the press still hounded you
You are famous, [E] I can see, with the marrow you [A] sounded
[B] And it seemed to me you lived your [E] life like a candle [A] in the wind
[E] Never knowing who to claim when [B] the rain set in
[A] I would have liked to know you, but [C#m] I was just a kid
A candle burned [B] out long before [A] you were even born
[F#m] [E] [B]
[F#m] [E] [B] [E] Goodbye Normandy, [A] though I never knew you at all
You had the [E] grace to hold yourself with those [A] around you crawl
[E] Goodbye Normandy, may [A] your manner be 22nd row
But still you [E] loved the boys and said to hold your gal, [A] Marilyn Butler
And [B] it seemed to me you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to claim when [B] the rain set in
[A] I would have liked to know you, [C#m] but I was just a kid
