[Verse 1]
[D]I knew a man
Bojangles and he'd dance for you
[G]In worn out [A]shoes,
[D]silver hair and ragged shirt and [Bm]baggy pant[D]s
[G]The old soft [A]shoe
[G]He jumped so hig[F#]h, he jumped so [Bm]high
[A]An [E]d then he lightly touched d[A]own
I [D]met him in a cell in New Orleans
[Bm]I was do[D]wn and[G] o[A]ut
He [D]looked to me to be the
eye[Bm]s of [D]Asia
[G]As the smoke ran [A]out
[G]He talked of lif[F#]e,
[F#m]he tal[F#]ked of life[Bm][A]
[E]Laughed, clicked his heels and sta[A]red
[D]Said his name Bojangles and
[Bm]he danced [A]a leg[D][A][G]
Across [A]the cell
He [D]grabbed his pants and
feathered stance
while we [Bm]jumped so [D]high
[G]And then he clicked his [A]heels
[G]He let go a laugh,
[F#]he let go a [G]laugh[Bm][A]
[E]He shook back his clothes all [A]around[Bm]
Mr. [A]Bojangles, [Bm]Mr. B[A]ojangles,
[Bm]Mr. [A]Bojangles,
[D]dance, [Bm]dance [D]for those
at minstrel [Bm]shows[D]
[G]He spoke [A]through
[D]tears of 15 years,
how his [Bm]dog and him
[D]traveled [G]abo[A]ut
[G]The dog up and[F#] died, he up and die[Bm]d
Af[A]ter [E]20 years, he still gri[A]eved
[D]Set a dance now at every
chance in [Bm]Honkytonk[D]
[G]For drinks and tip[A]s
But [D]most of the time I spend behind
[Bm]these county [D]bars
[G]Cause I drink so bit[A]ter
[G]He shook his head
[F#m]An d a[F#]s he shook his head
[Bm]I he[A]ard [E]someone ask him,[A]
please
[Bm]Mr. Boja[A]ngles
[Bm]Mr. Bojangles
[Bm]Mr. Boja[A]ngles
[D]Dance [D]You
