CANDLE IN THE WIND
By Elton John & Bernie Taupin
Key:E
7* 7* -6*7*-6* 7*
Good-bye Nor- ma Jean
6 -6* 7* 6 8* 8* -9 8*
Though I nev-er knew you at all
-8 8* -8 8* -8 -8 6 6
You had the grace to hold your-self
6 -7 7* -6* 6 5*
While those a-round you crawled
5* 6 -6* 7* -7 -8 -8
They crawled out of the wood-work
6 -6* 7* 6 8* 8* -9 8*-8
And they whis-pered in-to your brain
-8 -8 8* -8 -8 -8 6
They set you on a tread-mill
-6* 7* -7 7* -6* 7* 5*
And they made you change your name
7* -7 -8 -8 -8 7* -8 -8 -87*
And it seems to me you lived your life
7* -7 -8 -8 -8 8* 6
Like a can-dle in the wind
7* -7 -8 -8 -8 8* -8 -7
Nev-er know-ing who to cling to
7* 7* 7* -6* -6*
When the rain set in
-8 -8 8* 8* 8* 8* -9* 10 -9*
And I would have liked to have known you
8* 8* 8* 8* 6 7*
But I was just a kid
6 7* 7* 7* -7 -8 7*-6*-6* -6*
Your can-dle had burned out long be-fore
-4 5* 6 6 -6* 5*
Your leg-end ev-er did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
