C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F
C             F/C    C     F/C  C                                              F    F/A  G/B
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady,        seamstress for the band
C        F/C   C        F/C    C                                                 F/A      Cman7/G
Pretty eyed, pirate smile,          you'll marry a music man
F      Em7   Am7                        D/F#  Dsus/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
C       F/C      C             F/C       C                                                F    F/A    G/B
Jesus freaks out in the street       Handing tickets out for God
C           F/C   C          F/C       C                                                     F/A    Cmaj7/G
Turning back she just laughs       The boulevard is not that bad
F      Em7  Am7                D/F#   Dsus/F#  Dm7  E7                      Am   G7/B
Piano man he makes his stand                        In the auditorium
C           F/C   C                   F/C       C                                                              G  F  C/E  Dm7
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



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