Here are the unplugged chords that I use to play Elton John's 1971 hit Tiny Dancer. The verse is written around a "C-F/C" basic progression with a tonic pedal point. The song is played moderately slow 4/4 tempo. The chord fingerings I use (in a Standard tuning) are as follows: C = x32010; F/C = x33211; F/A = x03211; G/B = x3003x; G6 = 3x0000; F = 133211; Em7 = 020000; Am7 = x02010; D/F# = 2x023x; Dm7 = xx0211; E7 = 020100; G = 320003; C/E = 032010; Dm7 = x00211; Ab = 466544; Bb = x1333x; Gm = 355333; Cm = x35543; G7/B = x2300x; G7/D = x00001; Dm = xx0213; Em = 022000; and G6/A = x05430.
