Verse 1
(D major) I knew a man
Bojangles and he'd dance for you
(G major) In worn out (D major) shoes (A major)
Sil (D major) ver hair and ragged shirt
and (B minor) baggy pants (D major)
(G major) The old soft (A major) shoe (G major)
He jumped so high
(F sharp major) He jumped (G major) so high, (B minor) (A major) (E major)
and then he lightly touched down (A major)
I (D major) met him in a cell in New Orleans
(B minor) I was (D major) (G major)
Down and out, (A major) (A major) he (D major) looked to me
to be the eye (B minor) s of Asia (D major)
(G major) As the smoke ran (A major) out (A major)
(G major) He talked of life,
(F sharp major) he talked of (B minor) life (A major)
(E major) Laughed, clicked his heels and (A major) stared
Said (D major) his name
Bojangles and he danced (B minor)
a leg (A major) (D major) (A major) (G major)
Across the cell
(A major) He (D major) grabbed his pants and
feathered stance
Whoa, he (B minor) jumped so high
An (D major) (G major) d then he clicked his heels (A major)
(G major) He let go a laugh, (F sharp major) he let (G major) go a laugh (B minor)
He (A major) (E major) shook back his
clothes all (A major) around (B minor)
Mr. (A major) Bojangles, Mr. (B minor) (A major) Bojangles, Mr. (B minor) (A major) Bojangles, dance,
(D major) dance (B minor) (D major) for those at minstrel shows in county (B minor) fair (D major) s (G major) throughout the south (A major)
he (D major) spoke through tears of 15 years
how his (B minor) dog and him (D major) (G major) traveled
about (A major) (G major) the dog up and died
(F sharp minor) he (F sharp major) up and (B minor) died (A major) af
(E major) ter 20 years he still grieved (A major)
He (D major) said, I dance now at every
chance in (B minor) Honkytonk (A major) (D major)
(G major) For drinks and (A major) tips
But (D major) most of the time I spend
behind these (B minor) county bars (D major)
(G major) Cause I drink so big (A major)
(G major) He shook his head
(F sharp minor) An (F sharp major) d as he shook his head
(B minor) I (A major) (E major) heard someone ask him, (A major)
please
(B minor) Mr. Bojangles, (A major) Mr. (B minor) Bojangles
(B minor) Mr. Bojangles,
(A major) dance (D major) (B minor) (D major)
You
Mr. Bojangles
