Capo II
D
Goodbye Norma Jean
G
Though I never knew you at all
D
You had the grace to hold yourself
G
While those around you crawled
D
They crawled out of the woodwork
G
And they whispered into your brain
D
They set you on the treadmill
G
And they made you change your name
A A7
And it seems to me you lived your life
D G
Like a candle in the wind
D
Never knowing who to cling to
A
When the rain set in
G
And I would have liked to have known you
Bm
But I was just a kid
A
Your candle burned out long before
G D
Your legend ever did
D
Loneliness was tough
G
The toughest role you ever played
D
Hollywood created a superstar
G
And pain was the price you paid
D
Even when you died
G
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
D G
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
A A7
And it seems to me you lived your life
D G

From the young man in the 22nd row
D
Who sees you as something more than sexual
G
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
