[Verse 1]
DGoodbye, Norma Jeane, though I D/F#never G ...knew you at all,
You had the G4grace Gto D/F#hold yourself,
While D4those Da - Dsus2round Dyou crawled--G--, C/G
They Gcrawled out of the Dwoodwork, D4
DAnd they D/F#whispered G...into your brain
They set you on a D/F#treadmill, and they D4made Dyou Dsus2change Dyour name--G--!
[Chorus]
And, it Aseems to me, you lived your A4life A7like a D4candle Din the Gwind,
Never Dknowing who to cling D4to D...when the Arain set in, A7
And I Gwould've liked to have known you, but I G/Awas Bmjust a kid,
Your candle burnt out Along before ...your Glegend ever did!

[Verse 2]
DLoneliness was tough, the toughest D/F#role G ...you ever played,
Hollywood G4created Ga D/F#superstar, and D4pain Dwas the Dsus2price Dyou Gpaid, C/G
Even Gwhen you Ddied, D4 D oh, the Gpress still hounded you,
All the papers D/F#had to say...
...Was that D4Mari - lDyn Dsus2 ...was Dfound Gin the nude!
[Chorus]
And, it Aseems to me, you lived your A4life A7like a D4candle Din the Gwind,
Never Dknowing who to cling D4to D...when the rAain set in, A4 A
And I Gwould've liked to have known you, but I G/Awas Bmjust a kid,
Your candle burnt out Along before ...your Glegend ever did!

DGoodbye, Norma Jeane, D4 from the Dyoung man D/F#in the G22nd row,
