[Intro]
D/D D/C# D/B *A B C#*
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A *A B C#*
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you, in worn out shoes.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe
G D F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 A *A B C#*
He jumped so high, he jumped so high, then he lightly touched down.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A *A B C#*
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.
G D F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 A *A B C#*
He talked of life, he talked of life, laughed & slapped his leg a step.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A *A B C#*
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick, across the cell.
D/D D/C# Bm7/B D/A G/G A/A
He grabbed his pants a better stance oh he jumped up high, then he clicked his heels,
G D F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 A
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around.
[Chorus]
Bm A Bm A Bm A D/D D/C# D/B *A B C#*
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, won't you dance.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A *A B C#*
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled about.
G D F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 A *A B C#*
His dog up and died, he up and died, after twenty years he still grieved,
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A *A B C#*
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips.
D/D D/C# D/B D7/A G/G A/A
But most of the I spend behind these county bars, 'cause I drinks a bit."
G D F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 A
He shook his head and as he shook his head, I heard someone ask him please,
[Chorus]
Bm A Bm A Bm A D/D
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, won't you dance.
