            Candle In The Wind  - Elton John   (Norma Jean)


(Esus4 = [022200]

[Intro]   
B        B7    E     B7       E        B                              

[Verse 1]
E                                  A   
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all, 
            B7       E                    A      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 set you on the treadmill, and they made you change your name
  
[Chorus]
       B               B7                      E             A   
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind, 
      E                   Esus4                  B
Never knowing who to cling     to, when the rain   set in. 
      A                                                 C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just    a kid, 
                       B                 A                  G#m     F#m   E
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did. 

[Verse 2]
E                                           A
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you   ever played,
                     B7 E                A            E            A
Hollywood created a       superstar, and pain was the    price you paid.
              E            A
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                      E             A   
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind, 
      E                     Esus4                   B
Never knowing who to cling        to, when the rain   set in. 
      A                                                  C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just     a kid, 
                       B                 A           G#m     F#m   E
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did. 

[Verse 3]
E                                  A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never   knew you at all,
            B7       E                    A      E         A
You had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawled.
E                                             A
Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man in the twenty second row,
                          B7         E                A            E      A
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe.

[Chorus]
       B               B7                      E             A
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind, 
      E                     Esus4      E             B
Never knowing who to cling         to, when the rain   set in. 
      A                                                  C#m
And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just     a kid, 
                       B                  A          G#m   F#m   E
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did; 

[Outro]
    C#m               B                 A           G#m   F#m   E
The candle burned out long before, your legend ever did.
