            [Verse]

E                                A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
                         E                                       A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
                         E                         A
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
                        E                                       A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name


[Chorus]

B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E                               B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
            A                                      C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B               A               A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did


[Verse]

E                                A
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
                         E                                A
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
E                                A
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
                       E                                     A
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude


[Chorus] 

B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E                               B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
            A                                      C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B               A              A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did


[Verse]

E                                A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
                       E                                A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
E                                A
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
                                      E                                A
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe


[Chorus]

B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E                               B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
            A                                      C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B               A              A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
