[Ab] _ [Bb] [Eb] I knew a man, [Bb] _
Bojangles [Cm] and he danced for you, [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ in worn out [Ab] [Bb] shoes, [Eb] silver [Bb] hair, ragged
[Cm] shirt, _ [Bb] baggy pants.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
He would do the [Bb] old _ _ _ soft [Ab] shoe, _ _ _ he [Gm] would jump so [G]
high, jump [Cm] so high, _ [Eb] _
_ _ [A] _ _ and then he'd lightly
[Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ touch down.
_ [Eb] _ _ Told me of [Bb] the times he [Cm] worked with _ _ [Bb] minstrel shows.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Traveling throughout the south, _ _
_ [Eb] spoke with [Bb] tears of fifteen years, [Cm] how his _ [Bb] dog and he,
[Ab] _ _ _ _ they [Bb] would travel _ _ about.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ But his [Gm] dog up and died.
His [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [A]
dog up and died, _ _ [Ab]
and after [Bb] twenty years he's [Ab] so grieved.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] He said I dance [Cm] now at every _
_ [Gm] _ chance an [Ab] onkytock, _ _ _ _ [Bb] for my drinks and tips.
_ [Eb] _
[Bb] Most the time [Cm] I spend behind these [Bb] _ county [Ab] bars. _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ You see son, I drink a [Ab] bit. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ Then he shook his [Cm] head.
When _
_ _ [A] _ _ _
he shook [Ab] his head, _ _ [Bb]
I could swear I [Ab] heard someone say [Gm] please, please.
[Cm] _ _ That's Mr.
_ [Gm] _ [Bb] Bojangles. _ _
[Cm] _ _ Call him Mr. _
[Bb] _ Bojangles. _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ Mr.
_ [Bb] _
Bojangles.
