E
Goodbye Norma Jeane
              A
Though I never knew you at all
                      E
You had the grace to hold yourself
                         A
While those around you crawled
                         E
They crawled out of the woodwork
                   A
And they whispered into your brain
                      E
They set you on the treadmill
                               A
And they made you change your name

Chorus:
        B
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E             A
Like a candle in the wind
        E
Never knowing who to cling to
          B
When the rain set in
    A                          B
And I would've liked to have known you
           C#m
But I was just a kid
                        B
Your candle burned out long before
A                   E
Your legend ever 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 (Even when you died)
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Chorus

Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Chorus

Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
