Phew, first tab I've made in months. Great song from the 70's
that was used in the film Almost Famous. Many people requested
this a few months ago so I decided to tab it now, when people
have already found the chords somewhere else :)
Lots of chords, but don't be intimidated, it's an easy song to
play. I got the basics for this tab at:

So Big Thanx to them, lots of other Elton John songs there,
check it out.
INTRO:

                                     If you want tab for the intro you can play it like
this, I just strum it:
 CF

   D|----2---------3---3-----3----|
   A|--3--------------------------|

VERSE 1:
   --------

 CFCF
    Blue jean baby,   L.A. lady,
 CFFG
     seamstress for the band  
 CFCF
    Pretty eyed,   pirate smile,
 CFFG
     you'll marry a music man  
F Em7 Am7 D7 (or just a regular D)
Ballerina, you must have seen her
 Dm7E7AmG
        dancing in the sand 
 CFCF
    And now she's in me,  always with me,
 CGFEmDm7
     Tiny dancer in my hand   
 CFCF
                                 VERSE 2:
   --------

 CFCF
    Jesus freaks   out in the street,
 CFFG
    Handing tickets out for God  
 CFCF
    Turning back   she just laughs
 CFFG
     The boulevard is not that bad  
 FEm7Am7D7
        Piano man    he makes his stand
 Dm7E7AmG
     in the auditorium 
 CFCF
    Looking on   she sings the songs
 CGFEmDm7
    The words she knows, the tune she hums  
 CFCF
                                PRE-CHORUS:
   -----------

 AbBb
     But oh how it feels so real,
 Gm7Cm
     lying here with no one near
 AbBb
   Only you  and you can hear me
G/B G/B*
when I say softly, slowly
In the chorus the C is probably supposed to be C/E.
I just use the regular C, but if you wanna use C/E
it's played either like this (032010) or (xx2010).
CHORUS:
   -------

F C Dm C <--play this C real quickly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
 FCG
    Count the headlights on the highway
 FCDm
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
 FCG
    You had a busy day today
REPEAT CHORUS
INTERLUDE:
   ----------

Am Asus4 Am (I'm having a hard time hearing this correctly.
It's something like this and then:)
C F C F <--same as intro
REPEAT VERSE 1
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO:
   ------

 FCDmC
    Hold me closer tiny dancer 
 FCG
    Count the headlights on the highway
 FCDm
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
 FCGG
    You had a busy day today
