Candle In The Wind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
[C][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I nev[F]er knew you at all
You had the grace to [C]hold yourself
While those around you [F]crawled
They crawled out of the [C]woodwork
And they whis[F]pered into your brain
They set you on the [C]treadmill
And they made you change your [F]name

[Chorus 1]
And it [G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a [C]candle in the [F]wind
Never [C]knowing who to cling to
When the [G]rain set in
And [F]I would liked to have k[G]nown you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did (Ah ah ah [C]ah)
[G]Aah...[F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Loneliness was tough
The toughest [F]role you ever played
Hollywood created a [C]superstar
And pain was the price you [F]paid
And even when you [C]died
Oh, the press [F]still hounded you
All the papers [C]had to say
Was that Marilyn was [F]found in the nude

[Chorus 2]
And it [G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a [C]candle in the [F]wind
Never [C]knowing who to cling to
When the [G]rain set in
And [F]I would liked to have k[G]nown you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did (Ah ah ah [C]ah)
[G][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I nev[F]er knew you at all
You had the grace to [C]hold yourself
While those around you [F]crawled
[C]Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in [F]the 22nd row
Who sees you as something [C]more than sexual
More than just our Mari[F]lyn Monroe

[Chorus 3]
And it [G]seems to me you lived your life
Like a [C]candle in the [F]wind
Never [C]knowing who to cling to
When the [G]rain set in
And [F]I would liked to have k[G]nown you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did (Ah ah ah [C]ah)
Candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did (Ah ah ah [C]ah)
