DGoodbye (xx0232@1)Norma Jean 
               GThough (320003@1)I never knew you at all 
                     DYou (xx0232@1)had the grace to hold yourself 
                       GWhile (320003@1)those around you crawled 
                        DThey (xx0232@1)crawled out of the woodwork 
         GAnd (320003@1)they whispered into your brain 
                    DThey (xx0232@1)set you on the treadmill 
                              GAnd (320003@1)they made you change your name

      D (xx0232@1)

         AWhen (x02220@1)the rain set in 
      G (320003@1)

       GOh (320003@1)the press still hounded you 
            
All the papers had to say 
         D (xx0232@1)                      GWas (320003@1)that Marilyn was found in the nude

DGoodbye (xx0232@1)Norma Jean
                   GFrom (320003@1)the young man in the 22nd row
                                    DWho (xx0232@1)sees you as something more than sexual
                              GMore (320003@1)than just our Marilyn Monroe
