candle in the wind chords
elton john
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
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
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
goodbye norma jean
G
from the young man in the 22nd row
D
who sees you as something more than sxxual
G
more than just our marilyn monroe
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
A
your candle burned out long before
G D
your legend ever did
