_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] Goodbye _ Norma Jean, _ though I [A] never knew you at all, you had the grace [E] to hold yourself
while those [A] around you _ crawled.
[D] _ [A] _ They crawled out [E] of the _ woodwork _ _ and they [A] whispered into
your brain, they said you are [E] the treadmill _ and they made you change your [A] _ name.
[D] _ [A] _ _ _
[B] It seems
to me you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind, _ [E] never knowing who to cling to when
[B] the rain set [E] in.
[B] _ _
[A] I would have liked to have known you but I was [C#m] just a kid, your candle
burned [B] out long before [A] your legend ever did.

[B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] Loneliness was tough, the toughest [A] role you
ever played, Hollywood created [E] a superstar _ and came with the price you [A] paid. _
_ _ And even
when [E] you died, _ _ all [A] the friends who hounded you, all the papers [E] had to say was that Marilyn
was [A] found in the lead. _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ [B] It seems to me you lived your life like [E] a candle [A] in the wind,
_ [E] never knowing who to cling to [B] when the rain set [E] in.
_ [B] _ [A] I would have liked to have known you
but I [C#m] was just a kid, your candle burned [B] out long before [A] your legend ever _ did.

[E] Goodbye Norma Jean, _ though [A] I never knew you at all, you had the grace to [E] hold yourself

_ [E] Goodbye Norma Jean, for me a [A] man in the _ 22nd row who sees
you as something [E] more than sexy, more than just our [A] Marilyn Monroe.
_ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
[B] It seems to me you
lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind, never [E] knowing who to cling to when the [B] rain
