Mr Bojangles

   C            C/B           
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd 
   Am7          C/G  F           
dance for you,        in worn-out
    G
 shoes.
   C               C/B            
With silver hair a ragged shirt 
  Am7         C/G   F            
and baggy pants,        he did 
         G
the old soft shoe.
F                C    E7    
   He jumped so high, jumped so 
     Am   C/G  D7/F#             
high,     then he'd lightly touch
      G  G7
 down.


[Chorus]

Am       G      Am         G    
Mister Bojangles, Mister 
  Am         G        C
Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, dance.


[Verse 2]

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

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

[Verse 3]

     C                 C/B    
He danced for those at minstrel 
             Am7        C/G     F
shows and county fairs    
           G
throughout the south.
    C                  C/B        
He spoke with tears of fifteen 
           Am7       C/G F 
years how his dog and he      
          G
traveled about.
 F                C    E7      
  His dog up and died, up and 
Am   C/G
died,
D7/F#                            
After twenty years he still 
G  G7
grieved.


[Refrain]

C                        C/B
He said, "I dance now at every 
              Am7        C/G  
chance in honky tonks       for 
F               G
drinks and tips.
C                      C/B       
But most of the time I spend 
         Am7            C/G    F 
behind these county bars". He 
           G
said, "I drinks a bit."
F                 C    E7       
    He shook his head and he 
        Am    C/G
shook his head,
D7/F#                      G  G7
I heard someone ask him please,
