[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye, Mama June
Though [A] I never knew you
And all you had to dress [E] to hold youself
Although the round you [A] crawled
Crawled out of [E] the woodwork
And they were [A] sent into your parade
They sent you on the [E] treadmill
And they made you change your [A] name
[D]
[A] [B] Seems to me you lived your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to claim to
When [B] the rain set [E] in
[B] I [A] would have liked to love you

[E] was tough
What this [A] role you ever played
Hollywood created a [E] superstar
And paid with a price

All [A] the press still hounded you
All the papers [E] had to say
With the Marilyn was found [A] in the dew
[D] [A] [B] Seems to me you lived your life
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to claim to
When [B] the rain set [E] in

[E] Goodbye, Mama June
Though I never [A] knew you
And all you had to dress [E] to hold yourself
I thought around your [A] crawl
[D]
[A] [E] Goodbye, Mama June
From a young [A] man in the 22nd row
Who still knew something [E] more than sex
More than just a doll and Marilyn [A] Monroe
[D] [A] [B] 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

Your candle burned out [B] long before
[A] The legend ever did
I [E]
