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)
Silver (D major) 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)
Talked of (B minor) life, (A major) laughed, (E major)
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)
grabbed (D major) his pants
and feathered stance
Whoa, he (B minor) jumped so high, (D major)
(G major) and then he clicked his (A major) heels
(G major) He let go of a laugh, (F sharp major)
he let go (G major) of a (B minor) laugh (A major)
(E major) He shook back his clothes all (A major) around
(B minor) Mr. (A major) Bojangles
(B minor) Mr. (A major) Bojangles (B minor)
Mr. (A major) Bojangles
(D major) He for (B minor) (D major) those at
minstrel shows
and county (B minor) fairs (D major)
(G major) Throughout the South (A major)
He (D major) spoke through tears
of fifteen years
how his (B minor) dog and him (D major) (G major)
Travelled (A major) about
(G major) The dog up and died,
(F sharp minor) (F sharp major) he up and (B minor) died
Af (A major) ter (E major) twenty years he still grieved (A major)
He (D major) said a dance now at every
chance in (B minor) Honkytonk (A major)
(D major) For (G major) 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) (A major)
(E major) I heard someone ask him (A major) please
Please
(B minor) Mr. (A major) Bojangles (B minor)
Mr. Bojangles
(B minor) Mr. Bojangles (A major)
Dance (D major)
