Mrt Bojangles

D            F#m            Bm
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced
 for you
    G        A
In worn out shoes
      D             F#m           
With silver hair a ragged shirt 
   Bm
and baggy pants
     G        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.

Mr. Bojangles  Mr. Bojangles  
Bm     A        D
Mr. Bojangles  dance

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I
 was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of 
age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life, 
he laughed, slapped his leg a step
(Chorus)

He said his name Bojangles then he 
danced a licked across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better 
stance, o he jumped so hi, & he 
clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, 
shook back his clothes all around
(Chorus)

He danced for those at minstrel 
shows & county fairs, throughout the
 south
He spoke with tears of 15 years how 
his dog and him traveled about
His dog up and died, up and died, 
after 20 years he still grieves
(Chorus)

He said I dance now at every chance 
in honky tonks for drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind 
these county bars cause I drinks a 
bit
He shook his head, and as he shook 
his head I heard someone ask him 
please
(Chorus)
