Candle in the Wind Elton John
Candle In The Wind chords
Elton John
Capo II
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never [G]knew you at all
You had the grace to [D]hold yourself
While those around you [G]crawled
They crawled out of the [D]woodwork
And they [G]whispered into your brain
They set you on the [D]treadmill
And they made you change your [G]name
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life
Like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to
When the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before
Your [G]legend ever [D]did
[D]Loneliness was tough
The toughest [G]role you ever played
Hollywood created a [D]superstar
And pain was the price you [G]paid
Even when you [D]died
Oh the [G]press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that [D]Marilyn was found in the [G]nude
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life
Like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to
When the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before
Your [G]legend ever [D]did
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never [G]knew you at all
You had the [D]grace to hold yourself
While those around you [G]crawled
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man [G]in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than [D]sexual
More than just our Marilyn Mon[G]roe
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life
Like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to
When the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you
But I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before
Your [G]legend ever [D]did
Your candle burned out [A]long before
Your [G]legend ever [D]did
