Chords for Jerry Jeff Walker - Mr. Bojangles (Lyrics)

_ _ I [Bm] _ _
[D] knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
_ [G] In worn [B] out shoe _
[A] [D] With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
[G] _ The [A] old soft shoe
[G] He'd jump [Bm] so high, jump so high
[E] _ Then he'd [A] lightly touch down _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ [A] Mr.
Bojangles
[Bm] Mr. _ [A] _ Bojangles
[Bm] _ Mr.
[A] _ _
[D] Bojangles
Dance
I _ _ met him in a cell in New Orleans
I was [G] _ _ down and out
[D] He looked to me to be the eyes of age
[G] As he spoke right out
He talked of [Bm] life
He talked of life
_ [E] He laughed, slapped his [A] leg a step
Said _ _ [D] the name Bojangles and he danced a lick _
[G] _ Across [A] the cell
[D] Grabbed his pants and felt his stance
Oh, he jumped up high
[G] He clicked [A] his heels _
[G] He let go [D] a laugh, he let go [Bm] a laugh
He [E] shook back his [A] clothes all around _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ Mr.
[F#m] Bojangles
[Bm] Mr. _ _ [A] Bojangles _
[Bm] _ Mr.
[A] _ Bojangles
[D] Dance _ _ _
He'd dance for those at Mr.
Shows and county fairs _
[G] _ Throughout [A] the South
[D] Spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
[G] He traveled about
His dog [D] up and died, he up [Bm] and died
[E] After twenty years he still grieved
[A] _ _
[D] Said I'd dance now at every chance and honky-tonks _
[G] _ For [A] drinks and tips
But [D] most of the time I'd spend behind these county bars
[G] Cause I'd drink [A] so bad
[G] He shook [D] his head
And as he [Bm] shook his head
[E] I heard someone [A] ask please _ _ _
[Bm] _ Mr.
[A] Bojangles _
[Bm] _ Mr.
