MR BOJANGLES – Nina Simone
Capo 6
[Intro]
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you, in worn out shoes.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe
Am7 Em7 E7 Am7 Am7/G D7/F# D7 G
He jumped so high, jumped so high, Then he lightly touched down.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He looked at me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.
Am7 Em7 E7 Am7 Am7/G D7/F# D7 G
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed slapped his leg a step.
[Chorus]
Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 G7 C C C G
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, dance.
[Verse]
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick, across the cell.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He grabbed his pants for better stance oh he jumped up high, He clicked his heels,
Am7 Em7 E7 Am7 Am7/G D7/F# D7 G
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, stood up and shook back his clothes all around.
[Verse]
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and he traveled about.
Am7 Em7 E7 Am7 Am7/G
His dog up and died, up and died,
D7/F# D7 G
After twenty years he still grieved
[Verse]
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
But most of the time I spent behind these county bars," He said, "I drinks a bit."
Am7 Em7 E7 Am7 Am7/G
He shook his head and as he shook his head,
D7/F# D7 G
I heard someone respectfully ask please,
[Chorus]
Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 G7 C C C G
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, dance.
