A - G* - D/F#* - Em* - D A - G -
[D/] Goodbye Norma Jean. -
Though I [Dsus4] never
[G/] knew you at all. You had the [Am7/G] grace [G] to [D/F#/] hold yourself
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] D/F# G/ Am7/G
While those a - round you crawled
They crawled [G] out of the [D/] woodwork. -
And they whispered
[G/] into your brain. They set [Am7/G] you [G] on the [D/F#/] treadmill
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] D/F# G/ Am7/G
And they made you change your name
Chorus
And it [A] seems to me - you [A7] lived your life -
D Em* D/F#* G
like a candle in the wind
D/F# [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] D/F#
Never knowing who to cling to -
when the [A] rain set in [(A)]
And I [G] would have liked to have known you -
but I was [A] just a [Bm] kid
Your [(Bm)] candle burned out [A] long before -
Your [G] legend ever did

The [Dsus4] toughest [D] role you [G/] ever played
Hollywood [Am7/G] crea - [G] ted a [D/F#] superstar
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] D/F# G/
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you [D] died - [Dsus4] [-] [D]
Oh the [G] press still hounded you
All the [Am7/G] pa - [G] pers [D/F#/] had to say

Was that Mari - lyn was found in the nude
