Intro
[F] / / | [C/E] / / | [Dm7] / / | [C] [Dm7] [C/E] | x 4
Verse 1
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
I knew a man Bojangles and he'll dance for you
[Bbmaj7] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
In worn out shoes
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
[Bbmaj7] [C]
He would do the old soft shoe
[Bbmaj7] [Am] [A7] [Dm] [Dm/C]
He would jump so high, jump so high
[G7/B] [Bb/C] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
then he’d lightly touch down
Verse 2
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
He told me of a time he worked with - with minstrel shows
[Bbmaj7] [C]
traveling throughout the south
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
He spoke with tears for 15 years, how his, how his dog and he,
[Bbmaj7] [C]
they would travel about
[Bbmaj7] [Am] [Dm] [Dm/C] [G7/B]
But his dog up and died, curled up and died
[Bb/C] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
and after 20 years he still grieves
Verse 3
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
He said “I dance now at every chance in Honky Tonks
[Bbmaj7] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
for my drinks and tips
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C]
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
[Bbmaj7] [C]
you see son I, I drinks a bit
[Bbmaj7] [Am] [Dm] [Dm/C] [G7/B]
Then he shook his head, O Lord, when he shook his head
[Bb/C] [C]
I could swear I heard somebody say please, please
Chorus
[Dm] [C] [Dm] [C]
That’s Mr. Bojangles, Calling Mr. Bojangles
[Dm] [C] [F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
Mr. Bojangles Come back and dance, and dance, and dance, please dance
[Dm] [C] [Dm] [C] [Dm] [C]
Mr. Bojangles, Mr Bojangles Mr. Bojangles
[F] [C/E] [Dm7] [C] [Dm7] [C/E]
Come back and dance, and dance, and dance, please dance
