Candle In The Wind - simple version

Elton John

• EAAEAAEE
  S1:
  Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all 

  You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled 

  They crawled out of the woodwork, and they whispered into your brain 

  They set you on the treadmill, and they made you change your name
• HEAEHAC♯miHAEH
  R1:
  And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind  

  Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 

  And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid 

  Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
• EAAEAAEE
  S2:
  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
• HEAEHAC♯miHAEH
  R1:
  And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind  

  Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 

  And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid 

  Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
• EAAAAEEE
  S3:
  Goodbye Norma Jean,though I never knew you at all 

  You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled 

  Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man in the twenty second row 

  Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
• HEAEHAC♯miHAHAEEE
  R1:
  And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind  

  Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 

  And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid 

  Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did  

  Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
