Candle In The Wind - Elton John chords

Key: C Singer/Band: Elton John


Capo 4
[Intro]
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[Verse1]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never [F]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 whispered [F]into your brain
They set you on the [C]treadmill
And they made you change your [F]name
[Chorus]
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 [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
[F]Your legend ever did [C]
[Interlude]
[C] [x6]
[Verse2]
[C]Loneliness was tough
The toughest role [F]you ever played
Hollywood created a [C]superstar
And pain was the price you [F]paid
Even when you [C]died (Even when you died)
Oh the press [F]still hounded you
All the papers [C]had to say
Was that Marilyn was found [F]in the nude
[Chorus]
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 [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
[F]Your legend ever did [C]
[Interlude]
[C] [x6]
[Verse3]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never [F]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]22nd row
Who sees you as something [C]more than sexual
More than just our [F]Marilyn Monroe
[Chorus]
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 [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was [Am]just a kid
Your candle burned out [G]long before
[F]Your legend ever did [C]
Your candle burned out [G]long before
[F]Your legend ever did [C]
