Tiny Dancer
Elton John


I've seen the other tabs on this site...but they don't really show the arpeggios on the C and F chords for this song...this is just my interpretation, so don't judge me on that, but it sounds somewhat like Elton John's piano...

   PRE-CHORUS:
   -----------
   Ab              Bb
     But oh how it feels so real,
   Gm7               Cm
     lying here with no one near
   Ab                    Bb
   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).

    Lay me down in sheets of linen
   F          C          G
    You had a busy day today
   
   
   REPEAT CHORUS
