Candle In The Wind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I ne[F]ver 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 [F]whispered into your brain
And 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 I [F]would've liked to know you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Loneliness was tough
The toughest [F]role you ever played
Hollywood a created a [C]superstar
And pain was the price you [F]paid
Even when you [C]died
Oh, the [F]press still hounded you
All the papers had [C]to say
Was that Marilyn was found [F]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 I [F]would've liked to know you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I [F]never knew you at all
You had the grace to [C]hold yourself
While those around you [F]crawled
[C]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
From the young man
in the [F]twenty second 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 I [F]would've liked to know you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
Your [F]legend ever did
[C]Your candle burned out lon[G]g before
Your [F]legend ever did
[C]
