[Intro]

[Lick1] C    G/B   Am


[Verse]

   C           G/B              
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd 
Am            Am/G
dance for you
F             G     [Lick1]
  In worn out shoes
     C              G/B           
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, 
    Am           Am/G
and baggy pants
F               G    [Lick2]
   The old soft shoe
F              Em   E           
  He jumped so high,  jumped so 
Am    Am/G
high
D/F#                        G     G7
           [Lick1]
    Then he lightly touched down

  C            G/B           Am  
I met him in a cell in New 
        Am/G
Orleans I was
F           G  [Lick1]
  down and out
   C               G/B    Am     
He looked to me to be the eyes of
      Am/G
 age
F                    G  [Lick2]
   as he spoke right out

F               Em  E           
   He talked of life, talked of 
Am    Am/G D/F#
life,            he laughed
                      G      G7     
 [Lick1]
clicked his heels and stepped

   C              G/B             
He said his name "Bojangles" and 
  Am            Am/G
he danced a lick
F             G    [Lick1]
  across the cell
   C                     G/B      
He grabbed his pants and spread 
               Am             Am/G
his stance,Oh he jumped so high
F                          G     
[Lick2]
   and then he clicked his heels
F              Em     E        
   He let go a laugh, let go a 
Am     Am/G
laugh
D/F#                              
     and shook back his clothes 
  G       G7
all around


[Chorus]

Am       G        Am       G
   Mr. Bojangles,    Mr. Bojangles
Am       G        C     G/B  Am 
[Lick1]
   Mr. Bojangles, dance


[Verse]

   C                   G/B    
He danced for those at minstrel 
            Am           Am/G
shows and county fairs
F                G    [Lick1]
  throughout the south
   C                      G/B     
He spoke through tears of 15 years
         Am           Am/G
 how his dog and him
F           G     [Lick2]
  traveled about
F                Em   E          
  The dog up and died,   he up 
  Am    Am/G
and died
D/F#                             
     And after 20 years he still 
G       G7
grieves

   C                   G/B        
He said I dance now at every 
     Am           Am/G
chance in honky tonks
F                G    [Lick1]
  for drinks and tips
    C               G/B        
But most the time I spend behind 
        Am          Am/G
these county bars
F                   G     [Lick2]
  'cause I drinks a bit
F               Em    E         
   He shook his head, and as he 
          Am    Am/G
shook his head
D/F#                        G     
    I heard someone ask him please
 G7
