CANDLE IN THE WIND
C F
1. Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all,
C F
you had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled.
C F
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain,
C F
they set you on a treadmill, and they made you change your name.
G G7 C - F
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind,
C G
never knowing who to cling to, when the rain set in.
F a
And I would have liked to know you, but I was just a kid,
G F - C
your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
- G C F
2. Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played,
C F
Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid.
C F
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you,
C F
all the papers had to say, was that Marilyn was found in the nude.+REFR.
- G C F
3. Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all,
C F
you had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled.
C F
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row,
C
who sees you as something more than sexual,
F
more than just our Marilyn Monroe. + REFRAIN +
G F - C
your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
