[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I [A] never knew you
Well all you had to breath
[E] To hold yourself
Were those around you [A] crawl
They crawl out of [E] the woodwork
And they [A] whisper
Into your breath
They said you are [E] the treadmill
And they made you change your [A] name
[B] Seems to me
You lived your life
Like [E] a candle in the [A] wind [E] Never knowing
Who to claim to
[B] When the rain set in
And [A] I would have liked to have known you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out [B] long before
[A] Your legend ever did
[E]
[B]
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
Loneliness was tough
[A] Toughest road you ever played
How to create [E] a superstar
And pain was the price you [A] paid
Even when [E] you died
All [A] the prayers still were hiding you
All the papers [E] had to say
Was that Marilyn was [A] strung in your head
And [B] it seems to me
You lived your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
Never [E] knowing
Who to claim to
When the [B] rain set in
And I [A] would have liked to have known you
But I was [C#m]
just a kid

[A] Your legend ever did

[E] Goodbye, Normal Jean
Though I [A] never knew
What all your high progressed
[E] To hold yourself
Was those around you [A] called
[E] Goodbye, Normal Jean
From the young man [A] in the 22nd row
Who said you were something [E] more than sexual
More than just a down barrel [A] in Monroe
And [B] it seems to me
You lived your life
Like [E] a candle in the [A] wind
Never [E] knowing
Who to claim to
When the [B] rain set in
[A] And I would have liked to have known you
But I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out [B] long before
[A] Your legend ever [F#] did
[E] And [A] I would have liked to have known you
