[A] [G] [D] [A] 
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean 
Though I never [G] knew you at all 
You had the grace to [D] hold yourself 
While those around you [G] crawled 
They crawled out of the [D] woodwork 
And they [G] whispered into your brain 
They set you on the [D] treadmill 
And they made you change your [G] name 
{c: } 
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life 
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind 
Never [D] knowing who to cling to 
When the [A] rain set in 
And I [G] would have liked to have known you 
But I was [Bm] just a kid 
Your candle burned out [A] long before 
Your [G] legend ever [D] did 
{c: } 
[D] Loneliness was tough 
The toughest [G] role you ever played 
Hollywood created a [D] superstar 
And pain was the price you [G] paid 
Even when you [D] died 
Oh the [G] press still hounded you 
[G] All the papers had to say 
Was that [D] Marilyn was found in the [G] nude 
{c: } 
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life 
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind 
Never [D] knowing who to cling to 
When the [A] rain set in 
And I [G] would have liked to have known you 
But I was [Bm] just a kid 
Your candle burned out [A] long before 
Your [G] legend ever [D] did 
{c: } 
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never [G] knew you at all
You had the [D] grace to hold yourself
While those around you [G] crawled
[D] Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man [G] in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than [D] sexual
More than just our Marilyn Mon-[G]roe
{c: } 
And it [A] seems to me you [A7] lived your life 
Like a [D] candle in the [G] wind 
Never [D] knowing who to cling to 
When the [A] rain set in 
And I [G] would have liked to have known you 
But I was [Bm] just a kid 
Your candle burned out [A] long before 
Your [G] legend ever [D] did 
{c: } 
Your candle burned out [A] long before 
Your [G] legend ever [D] did
