Elton John - Candle In The Wind Chords

[Opening]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never [G]knew you at all
You had the grace to [D]hold yourself, while those around you [G]crawled
They crawled out of the [D]woodwork, and they [G]whispered into your brain
They set you on the [D]treadmill, and they made you change your [G]name

[chorus]
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life, like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to, when the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you, but I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before, your [G]legend ever [D]did

[verse 2]
[D]Loneliness was tough, the toughest [G]role you ever played
Hollywood created a [D]superstar, and pain was the price you [G]paid
Even when you [D]died, oh the [G]press still hounded you
[G]All the papers had to say, was that [D]Marilyn was found in the [G]nude

[chorus]
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life, like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to, when the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you, but I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before, your [G]legend ever [D]did

[Closing]
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never [G]knew you at all
You had the [D]grace to hold yourself, while those around you [G]crawled
[D]Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man [G]in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than [D]sexual, more than just our Marilyn [G]Monroe

[chorus]
And it [A]seems to me you [A7]lived your life, like a [D]candle in the [G]wind
Never [D]knowing who to cling to, when the [A]rain set in
And I [G]would have liked to have known you, but I was [Bm]just a kid
Your candle burned out [A]long before, your [G]legend ever [D]did
Your candle burned out [A]long before, your [G]legend ever [D]did
