Candle in the wind
Elton John

E			         A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
		        E				   A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
		        E			     A
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
		        E				      A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name


CHORUS

        B		B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E	      A
Like a candle in the wind
				B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
       A				         C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
		         B		 A	    E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did


E			          A
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
		        E				  A 
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
		        E			      A 
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
		        E				      A 
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

CHORUS

E				      A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
		        E				      A 
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
		        E			          A 
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
		 E				      A 
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

CHORUS
