Goodbye Norma Jean
              Asus2
Though I never     knew you at all
                     E
You had the grace to hold yourself
                              Asus2
While those around you crawled
                        E
They crawled out of the woodwork
                  Asus2
And they whispered     into your brain
                         E
They set you on the treadmill
                                  Asus2
And they made you change your name

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       B
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E                 Asus2
Like a candle in the wind
      E                   E
Never knowing who to cling to
         B
When the rain set in
      Asus2
And I would have liked to have known you
              C#m
But I was just   a kid
                       B
Your candle burned out long before
Asus2            E       F#m E
     Your legend ever did

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E
Loneliness was tough
                 Asus2               Asus2   Asus4 A
The toughest role     you ever played     Hollywood
          E
created a superstar
                               A
And pain was the price you paid
              E
Even when you died
                  Asus2
Oh the press still     hounded you
                     E
All the papers had to say
                              Asus2
Was that Marilyn was found in the  nude

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       B
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E                 Asus2
Like a candle in the wind
      E
Never knowing who to cling to
         B
When the rain set in
      Asus2
And I would have liked to have known you
              C#m
But I was just   a kid
                       B
Your candle burned out long before
     Asus2          E F#m
Your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jean
                          A
From the young man in the twenty second row
                                    E
Who sees you as something more than sexual
                              A
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
