C                 F/C        C       F/C     C                               F/A     G/B
  Blue jean baby,      L.A. lady,     seamstress for the band
C           F/C         C      F/C       C                                   F/A     Cmaj7/G
  Pretty eyed,    pirate smile,    you'll marry a music man


F            Em7   Am7                  D/F#        Dm7  E7                     Am     G7/B
   Ballerina,     you must have seen her          dancing in the sand
C                           F/C        C             F/C           C                              G       F C/E Dm7
   And now she's in me,      always with me,      tiny dancer in my hand

C     F/C    C    F/C


Jesus freaks    out in the street    Handing tickets out for God
Turning back    she just laughs    The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man      he makes his stand      In the auditorium
Looking on    she sings the songs     The words she knows the tune she hums

C     F/C     C     Dm/C   C


Ab                       Bb
   But oh how it feels so real
Gm7                    Cm
Lying here with no one near
Ab            Ab6                       Bb
Only you         and you can hear me
                    G/B     G/D        C/E
When I say softly  slowly

F                C/E            Dm       C/E
  Hold me closer tiny dancer
F                   C/E                        G/A
   Count the headlights on the highway
F              C/E                         Dm      C/E
  Lay me down in sheets of linen
F                  C/E          G/A
  you had a busy day today


Repeat


C     F/C    C    F/C

 

Blue jean baby,     L.A. lady,     seamstress for the band
