   C
 Goodbye Norma Jean

               F
 Though I never knew you at all

                       C
 You had the grace to hold yourself

                           F
 While those around you crawled

                           C
 They crawled out of the woodwork

            F
 And they whispered into your brain

                       C
 They set you on the treadmill

                                F
 And they made you change your name
Chorus:
          G
 And it seems to me you lived your life

          C            G
 Like a candle in the wind

         C
 Never knowing who to cling to

            G
 When the rain set in

         F    
 And I would have liked to have known you

     Am
 But I was just a kid 

                         G
 Your candle burned out long before

       F                C        F
 Your legend ever did
Verse:
  C
 Loneliness was tough

                  F
 The toughest role you ever played

                      C
 Hollywood created a superstar

                              F
 And pain was the price you paid

                C
 Even when you died

          F
 Oh the press still hounded you

                 C
 All the papers had to say

                                    F
 Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Chorus:
          G
 And it seems to me you lived your life

          C            G
 Like a candle in the wind

         C
 Never knowing who to cling to

            G
 When the rain set in

         F    
 And I would have liked to have known you

     Am
 But I was just a kid 

                         G
 Your candle burned out long before

       F                C        F        C        F
 Your legend ever did

 Goodbye Norma Jean

                          F
 From the young man in the 22nd row

                              C
 Who sees you as something more than sexual

                   F
 More than just our Marilyn Monroe
Chorus:
          G
 And it seems to me you lived your life

 Like a candle in the wind

F                   C
 Your legend ever did
