C         F          C    F     C                       F          C
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
C      F     C      F       C                    F             F
Pretty eyed, pirate smile,  you'll marry a music man
F      Em  Am             D          F  Em             Am    G
Ballerina,  you must have seen her,  	dancing in the sand
C             F     C       F        C                 F
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks, out in the street,  handing out tickets for God
C        F     C       F       C                         F     F
Turning back, she just laughs, The boulevard is not that bad
F      Em  Am            D    F  Em             Am     G
Piano man, he makes his stand,   in the auditorium
C           F              C         F         C                  F
Looking on, she sings the songs, the words she knows the tune she hums

Bridge


Ab            Bb
But oh how it feels so real
Gm              Cm
Lying here with no one near
Ab               Bb
Only you and you can hear me
           Bm      G
When I say softly slowly

Chorus (x2)

F       C           Dm
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F         C                 A7sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
F      C                 Dm
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F         C        A7sus4
You had a busy day today

F       C           Dm
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F         C                 A7sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
F      C                 Dm
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F         C        A7sus4
You had a busy day today

INTRO (again):    C    F    C    F     C    F    C    F

Notes:

I'd probably do the C to F intro like Keith Richards (without the open G tuning that is)...
Code:

   C  F  or  C    F
E-----------------------|
B--5--6------8----10----|
G--5--5------9----10----|
D--5--7------10---10----|
A-----------------------|
E-----------------------|


try these voicing for the bridge:
Code:

    Ab   Bb  Gm  Cm   Ab  Bb  Bm  G
E----------------------------------------------|
B----4---6----8---8---9---11--12--12-----------|
G----5---7----7---8---8---9---11--12-----------|
D----6---8----8---10--10--12--12--12-----------|
A----------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------|

Or,

    Ab   Bb  Gm  Cm   Ab  Bb  Bm  G
E--------------------------------------------|
B----4---3----3---4---4---6---7---8----------|
G----5---3----3---5---5---7---7---7----------|
D----6---3----5---5---6---8---9---9----------|
A--------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------|
