[A] [G] [D] [A]
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never [G] knew you at all
You had the grace to [D] hold yourself
While those around you [G] crawled
They crawled out of the [D] woodwork
And they [G] whispered into your brain
They set you on the [D] treadmill
And they made you change your [G] name
{c: }
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind
Never [D] knowing who to cling to
When the [A] rain set in
And I [G] would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm] just a kid
Your candle burned out [A] long before
Your [G] legend ever [D] did
{c: }
[D] Loneliness was tough
The toughest [G] role you ever played
Hollywood created a [D] superstar
And pain was the price you [G] paid
Even when you [D] died
Oh the [G] press still hounded you
[G] All the papers had to say
Was that [D] Marilyn was found in the [G] nude
{c: }
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind
Never [D] knowing who to cling to
When the [A] rain set in
And I [G] would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm] just a kid
Your candle burned out [A] long before
Your [G] legend ever [D] did
{c: }
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never [G] knew you at all
You had the [D] grace to hold yourself
While those around you [G] crawled
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man [G] in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than [D] sexual
More than just our Marilyn Mon-[G]roe
{c: }
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind
Never [D] knowing who to cling to
When the [A] rain set in
And I [G] would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm] just a kid
Your candle burned out [A] long before
Your [G] legend ever [D] did
{c: }
Your candle burned out [A] long before
Your [G] legend ever [D] did
