            [Verse 1]

   G          D                Em              C                D
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you       in worn out shoes
G              D                Em            C                   D       C
Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants         the old sof' shoe    
              Bm    B7            Em    A                           D
he jumped so high       jumped so high     then he lightly touched down
   G              D              Em            C            D     
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was     down and out
     G             D        Em           C                         D    C
He looked to me to be the eyes of age             as he spoke right out   
              Bm   B7               Em  A                              
he talked of life     he talked of life    laughed, clicked his heaels and 
   D
stepped
    G               D               Em           C                D      
He said his name Bojangles and he danced a lick       across the cell
     G                     D                      Em            C
he grabbed his pants and featherd stance for he jumped so high      then he 
             D      C                Bm  B7           Em    A 
clicked his heels      He let go a laugh    let go a laugh     shook back 
                  D
his clothes all around


[Chorus]

Em      D

[Verse 2]

     G                   D                 Em           C
He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs     throughout the 
 D
south    
    G                       D                   Em           C
He spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him     traveled 
  D    C
about     
                Bm   B7             Em   A
the dog up and died      he up and died     after twenty years he still 
  D
grieved 
 G                  D                  Em         C                  D
He said I dance now at every chance in honky-tonks    for drinks and tips
     G                 D                   Em        C                    D
But most of time I spend behind these county bars,   'cause i drinks a bit
 C                Bm  B7                      Em    A 
    He shook his head    and as he shook his head      i heard someone ask 
      D 
him please  PLEASE


[Chorus]

Em       D
    Mr.Bojangles
Em       D
    Mr.Bojangles
Em       D                    G
    Mr.Bojangles   wont you dance.
