Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
C   F   C   F   C           F   G
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
F   Em7 Am7      Dm    F         C  G7
Ballerina, you must have seen her,  dancing in the sand

Piano man, he makes his stand, in the auditorium
C    F  C       F   C                 G/D

Ab       Bb
 But oh how it feels so real
Gm        Cm
Lying here, with no one near

When I say, "Softly..."
 G/D
"Slowly..."
