Mr Bojangles

   D    C#m    Bm   A

[Verse 1]
   D            C#m            Bm
I knew a man Bojangles and he 
            A
danced for you
G      G        A     A
    In worn out shoes
      D             C#m           
With silver hair a ragged shirt 
   Bm         A
and baggy pants
G       G        A    A
   The old soft shoe
G             F#m   F#m7      Bm
He jumped so high, jumped so high
             E7          A7
Then he'd lightly touch down.

[Verse 2]
  D             C#m           Bm 
I met him in a cell in New 
        A
Orleans I was
G     G        A   A
      down and out
   D               C#m     Bm    
He looked to me to be the eyes of
     A
 age
G          G         A   A
   as the smoke ran out
G                F#m  F#m7      
   He talked of life,     talked
    Bm
 of life,
 E7         E7                 
  laughed, clicked his heels and 
    A7    A7
stepped

    D               C#m           
He said his name Bojangles then he
  Bm           A
 danced a lick
G     G          A   A
    across the cell
   D                    C#m  
He grabbed his pants, a better 
                 Bm         A
stance, oh he jumped so high,
G           G           A   A
   and he clicked his heels
G               F#m     F#m7     
   He let go a laugh, he let go a
  Bm
 laugh,
 E7         E7                     
shook back his clothes all around
A7    A7


[Chorus]

   Mr. Bojangles     Mr. 
     Bm        A
Bojangles     Mr. Bojangles
D      C#m    Bm   A
dance

[Verse 4]
    D                  C#m    
He danced for those at minstrel 
         Bm         A
shows and county fairs,
G        G        A   A
  throughout the south
   D                   C#m        
He spoke with tears of 15 years 
      Bm         A
how his dog and him
G     G         A   A
     traveled about
G                F#m  F#m7      
  The dog up and died,   he up 
    Bm
and died,
E7       E7                  A7  
   after 20 years he still 
  A7
grieves


[Verse 5]
    D                  C#m        
He said I dance now at every 
     Bm         A
chance in honky tonks
G     G          A   A
 for drinks and tips
    D               C#m        
But most the time I spend behind 
         Bm         A
these county bars
G           G        A   A
  'cause I drinks a bit
G              F#m      F#m7    
  He shook his head, and as he 
         Bm
shook his head
E7         E7                
I heard someone ask him please, 
     A7    A7
please

[Chorus]

     Bm        A
