[Intro]
G x4
[Verse 1]
GGoodbye Norma Jeane
FThough I never knew you at all
GYou had the grace to hold yourself
FWhile those around you crawled
GThey crawled out of the woodwork
FAnd they whispered into your brain
GThey set you on the treadmill
FAnd they made you change your name
[Chorus]
CAnd it seems to me you lived your life
G FLike a candle in the wind
GNever knowing who to cling to
CWhen the rain set in
FAnd I would've liked to have known you
GmBut I was just a kid
CYour candle burned out long before
F GYour legend ever did
[Interlude]
G x6
[Verse 2]
GLoneliness was tough
FThe toughest role you ever played
GHollywood created a superstar
FAnd pain was the price you paid
GEven when you died (Even when you died)
FOh the press still hounded you
GAll the papers had to say
FWas that Marilyn was found in the nude
[Chorus]
CAnd it seems to me you lived your life
G FLike a candle in the wind
GNever knowing who to cling to
CWhen the rain set in
FAnd I would've liked to have known you
GmBut I was just a kid
CYour candle burned out long before
F GYour legend ever did
[Interlude]
G x6
[Verse 3]
GGoodbye Norma Jeane
FThough I never knew you at all
GYou had the grace to hold yourself
FWhile those around you crawled
GGoodbye Norma Jeane
FFrom the young man in the 22nd row
GWho sees you as something more than sexual
FMore than just our Marilyn Monroe
[Chorus]
CAnd it seems to me you lived your life
G FLike a candle in the wind
GNever knowing who to cling to
CWhen the rain set in
FAnd I would've liked to have known you
GmBut I was just a kid
CYour candle burned out long before
F GYour legend ever did
CYour candle burned out long before
F G*Your legend ever did
