[Verse 1]
  C               C/B         
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd 
      Am         Am7/G
dance for you
F               G
  In worn out shoes
C            C/B              Am
Silver hair, ragged shirt and 
           Am7/G
baggy pants
F                   G
  That old soft shoe
F              C          E7    
  He'd jump so high, he'd jump 
       Am   Am7/G
so high
D7                         G    
   Then he'd lightly touch down
C/G  G7


[Chorus]
Am        Em
   Mr. Bojangles!
Am          Em
   Mr. Bojangles!
C   C/B  Am  Am7/G  F    G
Dance ...

[Verse 2]
  C             C/B           Am 
I met him in a cell in New 
   Am7/G
Orleans
      F             G
I was down and out
   C               C/B          
He looked to me to be the eyes of 
   Am   Am7/G
age
F                    G
  as he spoke right out
F              C        E7       
  He talked of life, he talked of
 Am    Am7/G
 life,
D7                           G   
  laughing slapped his leg stale
C/G  G7

[Verse 3]
   C               C/B            
He said the name Bojangles and he 
Am            Am7/G
danced a lick
F                    G
  all across the cell
   C                 C/B          
He grabbed his pants for a better 
      Am   Am7/G
stance,
       F                           
oh, he jumped so high and clicked 
            G
up his heels
F               C           E7   
  He let go a laugh, he let go a 
Am     Am7/G
laugh,
D7                           G    
shook back his clothes all around
C/G  G7

[Verse 4]
   C                   C/B    
He danced for those at minstrel 
            Am           Am7/G
shows and county fairs
F                  G
  throughout the south
   C                   C/B
He spoke with tears of 15 years
Am                  Am7/G 
 of how his dog and him just 
   F                 G
traveled all about
F                  C      E7    
  His dog up and died, he up and
     Am   Am7/G
 died,
          D7                 G    
and after 20 years he still 
  C/G  G7
grieves

[Chorus]
Am          Em
   Mr. Bojangles,
Am          Em
   Mr. Bojangles,
C   C/B  Am  Am7/G  F    G
Dance ...

[Verse 5]
   C                 C/B          
He said "I dance now at every 
   Am             Am7/G
chance at honky-tonks
F                     G
  for drinks and tips
    C                  C/B        
But most of the time I spend 
        Am          Am7/G
behind these county bars,
F                        G
  'cause I drinks a bit"
F              C                 
  He shook his head, and then he 
E7             Am
shook his head,
        Am7/G   D7         G     
I heard someone ask him, please?
C/G  G7
