Blue jean baby,  L.A. lady,  seamstress for the band
C      F     C      F      C                     F      G
Pretty eyed, pirate smile,  you'll marry a music man
F      Em7  Am7           Dm       F                 C    G7
Ballerina,  you must have seen her,   dancing in the sand
C         F     C        F       C                   G/D 
Now she's in me,  always with me,  tiny dancer in my hand

F     Em7  Am7           Dm     F            C          G7
Piano man,  he makes his stand,  in the auditorium

Looking on,  she sings the songs,  the words she knows, the tune she hums
F    Em  Dm   Am7

BRIDGE:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/elton_john/tiny_dancer_acoustic_crd_ver_2.html ]
Ab              Bb
  But oh how it feels so real
Gm               Cm
Lying here, with no one near
Ab                          Bb
Where only you, and you can hear me
             B°
When I say, "Softly..."
 G/D
"Slowly..."
