Mr. Bojangles

Verso:
  G         Bm
I knew a man Bojangles
         Em           Riff: Em7  
And he'll dance for you
Em  Em/F#  C

( C )            D
  In worn out shoes
 G                   Bm           
 With silver hair and ragged shirt
Em          Riff: Em7  Em  Em/F#  C
 baggy pants
( C )                     D
  He would do the old soft shoe

Ponte:
C               Bm
 He would jump so high
B         Em  Em7  A7
Jump  so hi-igh
A7                        D
  Then he lightly  touched down

He told me of the time he worked 
with Minstrel shows
Travelling throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he, they would 
travel about.
But his dog up and died, he up and 
died
And after twenty years he still 
grieved

Refrão:
Em             D
 That's mister Bojangles
Em               D
 Calling mister Bojangles
Em         D                    
Mister Bojangles come back and 
G         Bm
dance and dance
    Em          (Riff)
And dance please dance

He said I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say 
please

Refrão:
Em             D
 That's mister Bojangles
Em               D
 Calling mister Bojangles
Em         D                    
Mister Bojangles come back and 
G         Bm
dance and dance
    Em           (Riff)
And dance please dance
