E Goodbye Norma Jeane A Though I never knew you at all E You had the grace to hold yourself A While those around you crawled 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 B And I would've liked to have known you C#m But I was just a kid B Your candle burned out long before A E Your legend ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died (Even when you died) Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude Chorus Goodbye Norma Jeane Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled Goodbye Norma Jeane From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe Chorus Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C#m E B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
