Chords for Jerry Jeff Walker - Mr. Bojangles (Live at Farm Aid 1986)

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _
Last [F#m] bar I made I had to hear this one on the _ [D] radio. _ _
_ I was [A] busy playing a gig.
[Bm] _ _ _ So nice [F#] to be [D] here, be part of it. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ New and [F#m] amber jangles and he [Bm] danced for [D] you. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] Worn out [A] shoes, _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] silver hair, [F#m] ragged shirt and [Bm] baggy pants.
[D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ Need the old [A] soft shoe. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] Jump so high, _ _ jump so [Bm] high. _ _ _
_ [E] _ [B] Then he [E] lightly touched [A] down. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ Oh now Mr.
_ [F#m] _ Bojangles, _ _
_ [Bm] _ oh Mr.
_ [A] _ _ Bojangles, _
_ [Bm] _ oh Mr.
_ [A] _ Bojangles, won't you come [D] on down. _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ I met him in a cell in New [Bm] Orleans and I was [G] down. _ _ _ _ _
[A] Down and out _ he [F#m] looked to me to be _ [Bm] the eyes of [D] age.
_ _ [G] _ Had his phone [A] crying out, _
_ _ [G] _ _ he talked [D] to his life, [F#] _
_ he talked to his [D] life.
_ _ [G#m] _ _ He [E] lap slapped his [A] leg and step, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] he said the name Bojangles and he danced a [D] little bit.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
Across [A] the sand, _ _
_ [F#] he grabbed his pants, a pair of stints and then he [D] jumped up high.
_ [G] _ _ _ He clipped [A] his hair, _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ he let go [D] of a laugh, [F#] _ _
[E] oh he let go [D] of a laugh.
He sat _ [G#m] _ _ back, his clothes [A] all around. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ Oh now Mr.
_ [A] _ Bojangles, _ _
_ [Bm] _ oh Mr.
_ [A] _ Bojangles, _ _
_ [Bm] _ oh Mr.
_ [A] _ Bojangles, won't you come [D] on down. _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[D] He danced for [F#] those at Mr.
Shores [Bm] and County Fair, [D] _ _
_ [G] picnics _ throughout the [A] South. _ _ _
[F#m] Spoke with tears for 15 years, had his dog in him.
[G] They just traveled [A] and bound, _ _ _
_ [G] _ his dog up and [D] _ down, [F#] _
said he [Bm] up and [D] down. _
_ [B] Had 20 years he still [A] grew, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ said he danced [F#] at every chance and [Bm] honky tonk.
[D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ For drinks [A] and beers, _ _ _ _ [D] most of the time [F#] I spent [B] behind these county bars.
[D] _ _
_ [G] _ And I'd drink [A] some beer, _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ shook his [D] head, _ _ _ as he shook his head, _ _ _ [G#m] I heard [E] someone ask [Am] him please.
_ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ Oh now Mr.
_ [F#m] _ Bojangles, _ _
_ _ [Bm] oh now Mr.
_ [A] _ _ Bojangles, _
_ [Bm] _ _ oh Mr.
_ [A] _ Bojangles, [D] won't you come on down. _
Please.
