Mr Bojangles Ukulele chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
C      Em        Am
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
F       G
 In worn out shoes
C        Em       Am
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants
F       G
 The old soft shoe
F       C        Em
 He jumped so high, jumped so high
Am           G
Then he'd lightly touch down.

C      Em      Am
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was
F     G
 down and out
C        Em        Am
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
F         G
 as he spoke right out
F      C        Em
He talked of life, talked of life,
Am              G
he laughed, slapped his leg a step
Chorus:
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em     C
Mr. Bojangles... Dance


Verse 2:
C           Em        Am
He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs,
F      G
 throughout the south
C           Em        Am
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him
F     G
 traveled about
F       C      Em
His dog up and died, up and died,
Am           G    G G
after 20 years he still grieves
Chorus:
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em     C
Mr. Bojangles... Dance


Verse 3:
C           Em        Am
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
F     G
 for drinks and tips
C          Em         Am
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
F     G
 Cause I drinks a bit
F      C             Em
He shook his head, and as he shook his head
Am           G
I heard someone ask him please


Chorus:
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em
Mr. Bojangles
Am  Em     C
Mr. Bojangles... Dance
