ELTON JOHN; CANDLE IN THE WIND
G C G C G C G C
D D7 G C G D D7 C Em D C G D
GOOD BYE NORMA JEAN
THOUGH I NEVER KNEW YOU AT ALL
YOU HAD THE GRACE TO HOLD YOURSELF
WHILE THOSE AROUND YOU CRAWLED
THEY CRAWLED OUT OF THE WOODWORK
AND THEY WHISPERED INTO YOUR BRAIN
THEY SET YOU ON A TREADMILL
AND THEY MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME
chorus;
AND IT SEEMS TO ME YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE
LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND
NEVER KNOWING WHO TO CLING TO
WHEN THE RAIN SET IN
AND I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE KNOWN YOU
BUT I WAS JUST A KID
YOUR CANDLE BURNT OUT LONG BEFORE
YOUR LEGEND NEVER 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
THE PRESS STILL HOUNDED YOU
ALL THE PAPERS HAD TO SAY
WAS THAT MARILYN WAS FOUND IN THE NUDE
chorus
GOOD-BYE NORMA JEAN
THOUGH I NEVER KNEW YOU AT ALL
YOU HAD THE GRACE TO HOLD YOURSELF
WHILE THOSE AROUND YOU CRAWLED
GOOD-BYE NORMA JEAN
FROM THE YOUNG MAN IN THE TWENTY SECOND ROW
WHO SEES YOU AS SOMETHING MORE THAN SEXUAL
MORE THAN JUST OUR MARILYN MONROE
