Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man in the twenty second row Who sees you as something more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did
Excellent as always. I've nicked a lot of your work already which is why you're going to really hate me nitpick (forgive me) but the E chord with an Ab octave bass at 1:32 and 2:47 works beautifully but I don't quite get the Eb included in the left hand as opposed to E. It could work in the right hand if your aiming for a discord? I feel I'm going to regret posting this...
I agree with you. It's technically not an Ab but rather a G#, since that's the third of the E chord. The left hand index finger would better stay on E instead of playing D#. But hey, nitpicking indeed...
This version makes me cry like a baby.. thank you for the gift you give us...
That was great ,.I really enjoyed it ,
Cool version.
Amazing!
Sir, you are a genius.
This is just like 1986
Would love to hear a version of Idol!
Fuckin' nailed it.
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

do you have pdf´s of your "transcriptions"?, they are very good and the piano sounds very original like the one Elton John uses!
greetz

Sometimes tension is needed. You don't gotta make everything 100% work

Are you a fan?
I would love it if you could play Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John.
He did it!
Can you play Elton John I couldn't have you love anymore?
