D
Goodbye Norma Jean 

               G
Though I never knew you at all 

                     D
You had the grace to hold yourself 

                       G
While those around you crawled 

                        D
They crawled out of the woodwork 

         G
And they whispered into your brain 

                    D
They set you on the treadmill 

                              G   *
And they made you change your name 

       A               A7
And it seems to me you lived your life 

       D             G
Like a candle in the wind 

      D           
Never knowing who to cling to 

         A
When the rain set in 

      G                      
And I would have liked to have known you 

          Bm
But I was just a kid 

                       A
Your candle burned out long before 

     G           D   (G D  A  G D  A)
Your legend ever did 

D
Loneliness was tough 

             G
The toughest role you ever played 

                    D
Hollywood created a superstar 

                           G
And pain was the price you paid 

              D
Even when you died 

       G
Oh the press still hounded you 

               D
All the papers had to say 

                                  G
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude 

       A               A7
And it seems to me you lived your life 

       D             G
Like a candle in the wind 

      D           
Never knowing who to cling to 

         A
When the rain set in 

      G                      
And I would have liked to have known you 

          Bm
But I was just a kid 

                       A
Your candle burned out long before 

     G           D   (G D  A  G D  A)
Your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jean

                   G
From the young man in the 22nd row

                                    D
Who sees you as something more than sexual

                              G
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

       A               A7
And it seems to me you lived your life 

       D             G
Like a candle in the wind 

      D           
Never knowing who to cling to 

         A
When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you 

          Bm
But I was just a kid 

                       A
Your candle burned out long before 

     G           D   (G D)  
Your legend ever did 

     D                 A
Your candle burned out long before 

     G           D   (G D)
Your legend ever did
