  C            Em  
I knew a man Bojangles   
          Am          C  
And he'd dance for you  
F             G     
 In worn out shoes  
     C               Em  
The silver hair, a  ragged shirt  
     Am       C  
And baggy pants  
F               G    
 The old soft shoe  
F              G    E         Am   C  
 He'd jump so high,  jump so high  
D                        G    
 Then he'd lightly touch down  
 C                 Em  
He told me of the time he worked with  
   Am         C F                          G  
Minstrel shows traveling Throughout the south  
    C                    Em  
He spoke with tears of fifteen years  
        Am        C F                  G  
How his dog and he They would travel about  
F                   G   E          Am   C  
But his dog up and died He up and died  
D                               G  
And after twenty years he still grieved  
             C            Em                  Am        C  
He said 'I dance now At every chance in the Honky Tonks  
F                  G        C              Em  
For my drinks and tips but most the time I spend  
                  Am     C F                     G  
Behind these country bars You see on I drinks a bit'  
F                  G       E                      Am  C                        
Then he shook his head Oh lord when he shook his head  
D                                  G  
I could swear I heard someone say please  
Am              G      Am                G      Am       G                 
  Thatī Mr. Bojangles,  Call him Mr. Bojangles,  Mr. Bojangles     
               C         Em        Am       C   
Come back and dance and dance and dance please dance  
Am       G      Am       G      Am       G                 
 Mr. Bojangles,  Mr. Bojangles,  Mr. Bojangles      
               C         Em        Am       C   
Come back and dance and dance and dance please dance
