Solusi Terbaik – Desember 30, 2019

[Intro:]
B  A  E  B  E

[Verse I:]
E                   
Goodbye Norma Jean, 
             A
though I never knew you at all
                         E     
You had the grace to hold yourself 
                              A
while those around you crawled
                         E    
They crawled out of the woodwork 
                  A
and they whispered into your brain
                        E    
They sent you on a treadmill 
                                   A
and they made you change your name
 
[Chorus:]
B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E     
Never knowing who to cling 
             B
to when the rain set in
            A          
And I would have liked 
                            C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B          
Your candle burned out long before 
      A              E
your legend ever did

[Intro:]
E  B  A  E  B 
 
[Verse II:]
E                    
Loneliness was tough 
           A
the toughest role you ever played
                         E   
Hollywood created a superstar 
                            A
and pain was the price you paid
E                    
And even when you died, 
         A
oh, the press still hounded you
                       E  
All the papers had to say 
                                   A
was that Marilyn was found in the nude

[Chorus:]
B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E     
Never knowing who to cling 
             B
to when the rain set in
            A          
And I would have liked 
                            C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B          
Your candle burned out long before 
      A              E
your legend ever did
 
[Intro:]
E  B  A  E  B 
 
[Verse III:] 
E                   
Goodbye Norma Jean, 
             A
though I never knew you at all
                       E        
You had the grace to hold yourself 
                     A
while those around you crawled
E             
Goodbye Norma Jean, 
             A
from a young man in the twenty second row
                                      E   
Who sees you as something more than sexual 
                           A
more than just our Marilyn Monroe
 
[Chorus:] 
B                                   B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
        E                A
Like a candle in the wind
        E    
Never knowing who to cling 
             B
to when the rain set in
            A          
And I would have liked 
                            C#m
to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B       
Your candle burned out long before 
      A              E
your legend ever did

[Ending:]
                         B       
Your candle burned out long before 
      A              E
your legend ever did
