Tiny Dancer - Elton John

Intro is:    F


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


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

INTRO (again):    F


Bridge


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

Chorus (x2)

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

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

INTRO (again):    F

Notes:

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

   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:

    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,

    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--------------------------------------------|
