Strophe:
F C/E Dm7 C
I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'll dance for you
Bbmaj C
in worn out shoes.
F C/E Dm7 C
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants,
Bbmaj C
he would do the old soft shoe.
Bbmaj Am A Dm Dm/C
He would jump so high, jumped so high,
Dm/B Bb/C C
Then he lightly touched down.
F C/E Dm7 C
He told me of a time he worked with minstrel shows
Bbmaj C
travelling throughout the South.
F C/E Dm7 C
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his, how his dog and he
Bbmaj C
They were traveled about.
Bbmaj Am Dm Dm/C Dm/B
But his dog up and died, dog up and died,
Bb/C C Bb/C C
After twenty years he still grieves.
F C/E Dm7 C
He said, I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
Bbmaj C
For my drinks and tips.
F C/E Dm7 C
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars.
Bbmaj C
You see I, I drink a bit.
Bbmaj Am
Then he shook his head
Dm Dm/C Dm/B
Oh Lord when he shook his head
Bb/C C Bb/C C A
I could swear I heard somebody say please, please
Refrain:
Dm C
That's Mister Bojangles
Dm C
Call him Mister Bojangles
Dm C
Mister Bojangles,
F C/E Dm7 C
Come back and dance, dance, dance please dance
Refrain:
Dm C
Mister Bojangles
Dm C
Mister Bojangles
Dm C
Mister Bojangles,
F C/E Dm7 C
Come back and dance, dance, dance please dance
| F | C/E | Dm7 | C |
Come back and dance again Mister Bojangles
