Candle in the wind-Elton John

E	A
	Goodbye Norma Jean, though I neve	r 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 w	oodwork and they whispered	into your brain

	E	A
They sent you on a tread	mill and they made you change your name

Chorus:

	B	B7
	And it seems to me you lived your li	fe

	E	A
Like a c	andle in the wind

	E	B
Never kn	owing who to cling to when the r	ain set in

	A	C#m
And I would	have liked to've known you but I was ju	st a kid

	B	A	E
Your candle burned out lo	ng before your l	egend ever did

Other verses:

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid

And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row

Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
