Capo 4
[Intro]
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[Verse1]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never k[F]knew you at all
You had the grace to ho[C]hold yourself
While those around you cra[F]crawled
They crawled out of the wood[C]woodwork
And they whispered i[F]into your brain
They set you on the tread[C]treadmill
And they made you change your n[F]name
[Chorus]
And it se[G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]candle in the wi[F]wind
Never kno[C]knowing who to cling to
When the ra[G]rain set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]long before
Yo[F]Your legend ever did [C]
[Interlude]
[C] [x6]
[Verse2]
[C]Loneliness was tough
The toughest role y[F]you ever played
Hollywood created a supe[C]superstar
And pain was the price you p[F]paid
Even when you d[C]died (Even when you died)
Oh the press st[F]still hounded you
All the papers h[C]had to say
Was that Marilyn was found i[F]in the nude
[Chorus]
And it se[G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]candle in the w[F]wind
Never kno[C]knowing who to cling to
When the ra[G]rain set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]long before
Y[F]Your legend ever did [C]
[Interlude]
[C] [x6]
[Verse3]
Go[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never kn[F]knew you at all
You had the grace to h[C]hold yourself
While those around you cra[F]crawled
Goo[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22[F]22nd row
Who sees you as something m[C]more than sexual
More than just our Mari[F]Marilyn Monroe
[Chorus]
And it se[G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]candle in the w[F]wind
Never kno[C]knowing who to cling to
When the ra[G]rain set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]long before
Y[F]Your legend ever did [C]
Your candle burned out lo[G]long before
Yo[F]Your legend ever did [C]
