Good bye Norma Jean, 
A 
Though I never knew you at all 
E
You had the grace to  hold  yourself, 
A
While those around you  craw led. 
E
They crawled out of the  wood work, 
A 
And they whispered into your brain, 
E
They set you on the tr eadm ill 
A
And they made you change your  name.  
chorus
B B7
And it  see ms to me you lived your l ife 
E A 
Like a  can dle in the wind,
E Esus4
Never  know ing who to  cling  to 
B
When the  rain  set in. 
E
And I  wou ld have liked to have known you, 
C#m7
But I was  just  a kid. 
B
Your candle burned out  long  before 
A E  F#m7 
Your  leg end ever did.
