[Verse 1]
I [C]knew a man, Bo[Em]jangles

[F]In worn out sho[G]es
[C]Silver hair, and [Em]ragged shirt,
and [Am]baggy [C]pants
[F]The old soft sho[G]e
[F]He jumped so hig[Em]h,
[E]he jumped so hig[Am]h
[D]And then he'd lightly touch dow[G]n

[Verse 2]
I [C]met him in a [Em]cell in New Or[Am]leans, I [C]was
[F]Down and out[G]
He [C]looked to me to [Em]be the ey[Am]es of ag[C]e
[F]As the smoke ran out[G]
[F]He talked of lif[Em]e,
[E]he talked of lif[Am]e
[D]He laughed, clicked his heels
and [G]stepped

[Verse 3]
He [C]said his name Bo[Em]jangles
and he [Am]danced a [C]lick
[F]Across the cel[G]l
He [C]grabbed his pants and [Em]feathered stance,
whoa, he [Am]jumped so [C]high
[F]And then he clicked his hee[G]ls
[F]He let go a lau[Em]gh,
he [E]let go a [Am]laugh
[D]Shook back his clothes all arou[G]nd

[Verse 4]
He [C]danced for those at [Em]minstrel shows
and [Am]county [C]fairs
[F]Throughout the sou[G]th
He [C]spoke through tears of [Em]fifteen years
how his [Am]dog and [C]him
[F]Traveled abou[G]t
[F]The dog up and die[Em]d,
[E]he up and die[Am]d
[D]After twenty years he still gri[G]eves

[Verse 5]
He [C]said, "I dance now at [Em]every chance
in [Am]honky [C]tonks
[F]For drinks and tip[G]s
But [C]most the time I [Em]spend
behind these [Am]county [C]bars
[F]'Cause I drinks a bit[G]"
