Goodbye Norma Jean
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
B B7
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
And I would have liked to have known you
Dbm
But I was just a kid
B
Your candle burned out long before
A E
Your legend ever did
E
Loneliness was tough
A
The toughest role you ever played
E
Hollywood created a superstar
A
And pain was the price you paid
E
Even when you died
A
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
E A
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you

But I was just a kid

From the young man in the 22nd row

Who sees you as something more than xxxual
A
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
