E                 
Goodbye Norma Jean
               A                
Though I never ■ knew you at all
                     E            
You had the grace to hold yourself
                       A      
While those around you crawled
Esus4                   E       
They crawled out of the woodwork
         A                        
And they whispered into your brain
                    E        
They set you on the treadmill
                              A   
And they made you change your name


[Chorus]
       B                              
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E             A   
Like a candle in the wind
E                            
Never knowing who to cling to
         B          
When the rain set in
      A                            
And I would have liked to known you
          C#m       
But I was just a kid
                       B          
Your candle burned out long before
A                   
Your legend ever did

[Verse]
E                   
Loneliness was tough
                  A              
The toughest role you ever played
                    E        
Hollywood created a superstar
                           A   
And pain was the price you paid
              E   
Even when you died
       A                      
Oh the press still hounded you
                   E     
All the papers had to say
                     A                
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude


[Chorus]
       B                              
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E             A   
Like a candle in the wind
E                            
Never knowing who to cling to
         B          
When the rain set in
      A                            
And I would have liked to known you
          C#m       
But I was just a kid
                       B          
Your candle burned out long before
A

Goodbye Norma Jean
                          A              
From the young man in the twentytwond row
                          E               
Who sees you as something more than sexual
                   A             
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
F#m7        B                              
■    And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in ■ the wind
E                            
Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in
      A
