Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never

A

knew you at all

You had the grace to

E/G#

hold yourself

While those around you

A

crawled

They crawled out of the

E

woodwork

And they whispered

A

into your brain

They set you on the

E/G#

treadmill

And they made you change your

A

name

And it

H

seems to me you lived your life

Like a

E

candle in the wind

A

Never

E

knowing who to cling to

When the

H

rain set in

And I

A

would have liked to have known you

But I was

C#m

just a kid

Your candle burned out

H

long before

Your

A

legend ever did

Loneliness was tough

The toughest role

A

you ever played

Hollywood created a

E/G#

superstar

And pain was the price you

A

paid

Even when you

E

died

Oh the

A

press still hounded you

All the papers

E/G#

had to say

Was that Marilyn was found

A

in the nude

And it

H

seems to me you lived your life

Like a

E

candle in the wind

A

Never

E

knowing who to cling to

When the

H

rain set in

And I

A

would have liked to have known you

But I was

Your candle burned out

Goodbye Norma Jean

From the young man in the

A

22nd row

Who sees you as something

E/G#

more than sexual

More than just our Marilyn

Monroe

And it

seems to me you lived your life
