[B] [A] [E] [F#m] [E]
[B] [G#m] [E]
Goodbye, Norma Dean, though [A] I never knew you at all
You had the [E] grace to hold yourself, my clothes around your [A]
door
They crawled [E] out of the woodwork and they [A]
whispered into your brain
They set you [E] on the treadmill and they made you change [A] your name
[B] And it seems to me you lived your life like [E] a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to when [B] the rain said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you but I was [C#m]
just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before [A] the legend ever [F#m] did
[E]
[B] [A]
[E] [F#m] [E] [B]
[E] Snowman ever was tough, [A] tough as rope you ever played
Hollywood created [E] a superstar and fame was the price [A] you paid
Even [E] when you died, oh [A] the press still hounded you
All the papers [E] had to say was that Marilyn was [A] found in the nude
[B] And 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 said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you but I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned [B] out long before [A] the legend ever did
[E] [F#m] [E]

[A] [E] [F#m] [E]
[B] [E]
Goodbye Norman Jean, though I [A] never knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold yourself, my clothes around your [A] door
[E]
Goodbye Norman Jean, but for a young man [A] in the 22nd row
To see if you was nothing [E] more than a second row
More than just our [A] Marilyn Monroe
[B]
[E] Like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to cling to when [B] the rain said hey
And [A] I would have liked to know you but I was [C#m] just a kid
Your candle burned out [B]
long before [A] the legend ever did
[F#m] Your [E]
candle burned [B] out long before [A] the legend ever did
