Mr. Bojangles chords
Jerry Jeff Walker

  G+G       B minorBm       E minorEm      C majorC
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
      D7D7
In worn out shoes
G+G        B minorBm        E minorEm     C majorC
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants
          D MajorD  C majorC
He did the old soft shoe
       B7B7        E minorEm A7A7
He jumped so high he jumped so high
            D MajorD D7D7
Then he'd lightly touch down

 G+G      B minorBm   E minorEm     C majorC
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
        D MajorD
I was down and out
  G+G        B minorBm   E minorEm     C majorC
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
         D MajorD  C majorC
As he spoke right out
       B7B7        E minorEm A7A7
He talked of life he talked of life
               D MajorD D7D7
He laughed slapped his leg a step

  G+G        B minorBm       E minorEm      C majorC      D7D7
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick, across the cell
  G+G          B minorBm          E minorEm      C majorC
He grabbed his pants a better stance then he jumped so high
        D7D7
He clicked his heels
  C majorC    D7D7          E minorEm  A7A7
He let go a laugh oh he let go a laugh
              D MajorD  D7D7 E minorEm
Shook back his clothes all around

   D MajorD   E minorEm
Mr. Bojangles
   D MajorD   E minorEm
Mr. Bojangles
   D MajorD
Mr. Bojangles
G+G  B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD
Dance

  G+G          B minorBm         E minorEm      C majorC        D7D7
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs, throughout the South
  G+G          B minorBm          E minorEm     C majorC      D7D7 C majorC
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him, traveled about
        B7B7       E minorEm A7A7
His dog up and died he up and died
              D MajorD   D7D7
After twenty years he still grieves

  G+G          B minorBm       E minorEm     C majorC        D7D7
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks, for drinks and tips
  G+G         B minorBm         E minorEm     C majorC
But most o' the time I spend behind these county bars
        D MajorD
Hell I drinks a bit
  C majorC     B7B7            E minorEm A7A7
He shook his head and as he shook his head
            D7D7  E minorEm
I heard someone ask him please

   D MajorD   E minorEm
Mr. Bojangles
   D MajorD   E minorEm
Mr. Bojangles
   D MajorD
Mr. Bojangles

G+G  B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
