Candle In The Wind chords
Elton John

Capo II

D MajorD
Goodbye Norma Jean
        G+G
Though I never knew you at all
           D MajorD
You had the grace to hold yourself
            G+G
While those around you crawled
            D MajorD
They crawled out of the woodwork
     G+G
And they whispered into your brain
          D MajorD
They set you on the treadmill
               G+G
And they made you change your name

    A augmentedA        A7A7
And it seems to me you lived your life
    D MajorD       G+G
Like a candle in the wind
   D MajorD
Never knowing who to cling to
     A augmentedA
When the rain set in
   G+G
And I would have liked to have known you
     B minorBm
But I was just a kid
            A augmentedA
Your candle burned out long before
   G+G      D MajorD
Your 🏷Legend ever did


D MajorD
Loneliness was tough
       G+G
The toughest role you ever played
          D MajorD
Hollywood created a superstar
              G+G
And pain was the price you paid
       D MajorD
Even when you died
    G+G
Oh the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say
     D MajorD            G+G
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
    A augmentedA        A7A7
And it seems to me you lived your life
    D MajorD       G+G
Like a candle in the wind
   D MajorD
Never knowing who to cling to
     A augmentedA
When the rain set in
   G+G
And I would have liked to have known you
     B minorBm
But I was just a kid
            A augmentedA
Your candle burned out long before
   G+G      D MajorD
Your 🏷Legend ever did

D MajorD
Goodbye Norma Jean
        G+G
Though I never knew you at all
      D MajorD
You had the grace to hold yourself
            G+G
While those around you crawled
D MajorD
Goodbye Norma Jean
          G+G
From the young man in the 22nd row
                  D MajorD
Who sees you as something more than sexual
               G+G
More than just our Marilyn Monroe


    A augmentedA        A7A7
And it seems to me you lived your life
    D MajorD       G+G
Like a candle in the wind
   D MajorD
Never knowing who to cling to
     A augmentedA
When the rain set in
   G+G
And I would have liked to have known you
     B minorBm
But I was just a kid
            A augmentedA
Your candle burned out long before
   G+G      D MajorD
Your 🏷Legend ever did


            A augmentedA
Your candle burned out long before
   G+G      D MajorD
Your 🏷Legend ever did
