[B]
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I [A] never knew you
Oh, Lord, you have the grace
[E] To hold yourself
With those around you [A] crawl
[D] [A] They crawl out [E] of the woodwork
And they [A] whisper
Into your brain
That said you are the [E]
treadmill
And the maid
To change [A] your name
[D] [A]
[B] And it seems to me
You lift your life
Like [E] a candle in [A] the wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
When [B] the rain set in
[E]

All the [A] press do
How did you, all the papers [E] have to say
That Marilyn was [A] found in the nude
[D]
[A] It [B] seems to me
You lift your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to

Though I [A] never knew you

[E] To hold yourself
To hold those around you
[A] Crawled
[D] [A]
[E] Goodbye Norma Jean
[G#] From the young man in [A] the 22nd row
Who said you was something [E] more than sexy
More than just [G#m] our [A] Marilyn Monroe
[D]
[A] It [B] seems to me
You lift your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to
