This tab was originally provided to me by Mike Dodge. I have now changed it a bit
to how I play it.

Then into a little rhythm :
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
F C F C F A7Sus4
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks, out in the street, handing out tickets for God
Turning back, she just laughs, The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand, in the auditorium
F C F C F A7Sus4
Looking on, she sings the songs, the words she knows the tune she hums
INTRO (again):
Bridge
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F C A7Sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F C A7Sus4
You had a busy day today
Chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F C A7Sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F C A7Sus4
You had a busy day today

INTRO (again):
(Back to 1st verse one more time)
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
F C F C F A7Sus4
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
mini INTRO (again):
Bridge
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F C A7Sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F C A7Sus4
You had a busy day today
Chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F C A7Sus4
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F C A7Sus4
You had a busy day today

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