Candle in the wind
Mi La
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
Mi
You had the grace to hold yourself
La Re La
while those around you crawled
Mi
They crawled out of the woodwork
La
and they whispered into your brain
Mi
They sent you on a treadmill
La
and they made you change your name
Si Si7
And it seems to me you lived your life
Mi La
Like a candle in the wind
Mi Si
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
La Do#m
And I would have liked to 've known you but I was just a kid
Si La
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Lab Sol Mi Si La Lab La Mi Si
Mi La
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Mi La Re La
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
Mi La
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
Mi
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn
La
was found in the nude
Si Si7
And it seems to me you lived your life
Mi La
Like a candle in the wind
Mi Si
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
La Do#m
And I would have liked to 've known you but I was just a kid
Si La
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Mi Si La Lab La Mi Si
Mi La
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
Mi
You had the grace to hold yourself
La
while those around you crawled
Mi La
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Mi
Who sees you as something more than sexual,
La Re La
more than just our Marilyn Monroe
Si Si7
And it seems to me you lived your life
Mi La
Like a candle in the wind
Mi Si
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
La Do#m
And I would have liked to 've known you but I was just a kid
Si La
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
La Do#m
And I would have liked to 've known you but I was just a kid
Si La Mi
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
