Candle In The Wind Elton John
[G]Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never [C]knew you at all
[C]You had the grace to [G]hold yourself while those around you crawled
[C]They crawled out of the [G]woodwork, and they whispered[C] into your brain
[C]They sent you on a tread[G]mill, and they made you change your name[C]
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a c[G]andle in the wind[C]
Never [G]knowing who to cling to when the [D]rain set in
And I would [C]have liked to have known you, but I was [Em]just a kid
[G]Your candle burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever did
[G]Loneliness was tough, the toughest [C]role you ever played
[C]Hollywood created a superstar, and [G]pain was the price you paid
[C]And even when you [G]died, oh the press [C]still hounded you
[C]All the papers had to say [G]was that Marylin was found in the [C]nude
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a c[G]andle in the wind[C]
Never [G]knowing who to cling to when the [D]rain set in
And I would [C]have liked to have known you, but I was [Em]just a kid
[G]Your candle burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever did
[G]Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never [C]knew you at all
[C]You had the grace to [G]hold yourself while those around you crawled
[C]Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man in the [G]22nd row, [C]
[C]Who sees you as someting [G]more than sexual, more than just our Mary[C]lin Monroe
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a c[G]andle in the wind[C]
Never [G]knowing who to cling to when the [D]rain set in
And I would [C]have liked to have known you, but I was [Em]just a kid
[G]Your candle burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever did
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a c[G]andle in the wind[C]
And your [C]footsteps will always fall here among [Em]England's greenest hills
[G]Your candles burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever will. [G]
