Candle In The Wind
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road · Elton John
B7AA/G#F#m7EEsus4BB7
EGoodbye Norma Jean, E7/G#though I never Aknew you at all
You had the grace to E/G#hold yourself while those around you Acrawled
They crawled out of the Ewoodwork E7/G#and they whispered Ainto your brain
They sent you on a tE/G#readmill and they made you change your naAme
And it Bseems to me you lived your liB7fe
Like a cEsus4andle in theE wind A
Never kEnowing who to clEsus4ing Eto when the raBin set in
And I wAould have liked to've known you but I was jC#must a kid
Your candle burned out Blong before your Alegend ever did E/G# F#m7
EEsus4BAE/G#F#m7EBB7
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
