[Verse]
C C/B Am Am7/G
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
F G
In worn out shoes
C C/B Am Am7/G
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants
F G
That old soft shoe
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He jumped so high, he jumped so high.
D7 G C/G G7
Then he lightly touched down
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles!
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles!
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am7/G
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
F G
I was down and out
C C/B Am Am7/G
He looked to me to be the eye of the age
F G
as he spoke right out
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He talked of life, he talked of life,
D7 G C/G G7
laughing slapped his leg stale
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance.
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
F G
all across the cell
C C/B Am Am7/G
He grabbed his pants for a better stance,
F G
oh he jumped so high and he clicked up his heels
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He let go laugh, he let go laugh,
D7 G C/G G7
shook back his clothes all around
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance, yeah, dance.
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
F G
throughtout the south
C C/B Am Am7/G
He spoke with tears of 15 years
F G
of how his dog and him just traveled about
F C E7 Am Am7/G
His dog up and died, he up and died,
D7 G C/G G7
and after 20 years he still grieves
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance.
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He said "I dance now every chance at honky-tonks
F G
for drinks and tips
C C/B Am Am7/G
But most my time I spend behind these county bars,
F G
cause I drinks a bit"
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He shook his head, yes he shook his head,
D7 G C/G G7
I heard someone ask him, please?
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
