[Intro]
C x4

[Verse 1]
C
Goodbye Norma Jeane
                              F 
Though I never knew you at all
                                      C
You had the grace to hold yourself
                                            F
While those around you crawled
                                              C
They crawled out of the woodwork
                                     F
And they whispered into your brain
                                         C
They set you on the treadmill
                                                    F
And they made you change your name

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

[Interlude]
C x6

[Verse 2]
C
Loneliness was tough
                                F
The toughest role you ever played
                                           C
Hollywood created a superstar
                                            F
And pain was the price you paid
                            C
Even when you died (Even when you died)
                        F
Oh the press still hounded you
                        C
All the papers had to say
                                            F
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

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

[Interlude]
C x6

[Verse 3]

Goodbye Norma Jeane
                            F
Though I never knew you at all
                                    C
You had the grace to hold yourself
                                         F
While those around you crawled
        C
Goodbye Norma Jeane
                                             F
From the young man in the 22nd row
                                               C
Who sees you as something more than sexual
                                    F
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

[Chorus]
            G
And it seems to me you lived your life
                C              F 
Like a candle in the wind
                 C
Never knowing who to cling to
                 G
When the rain set in
            F
And I would've liked to have known you
               Am
But I was just a kid
                                        G
Your candle burned out long before
F                          C
Your legend ever did
                                       G
Your candle burned out long before
F                              C*
Your legend ever did
