Modern Day Bojangles By Django Walker This song is done with walkdowns from D to G to Em in the verses Intro chords: D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em Well he’s a modern day Bojangles and his mind became tangled D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em As he’s talking to the pigeons and the people passing by D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em Now the hookers and the holy men, they both tried to save him D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em But everything they talked of seemed to sound just like a lie D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# Em He’s a dancer from the Southland and he’s proud to take a home stand D D/F# D/E D/A G G/F# D Against this big old city that keeps looking over for him Chorus: G D Gonna keep on dancing, keep on rolling time away Bm E7 A Life’s not a waltz; it’s a faster pace G D Keep on two stepping, through it all and Bm E7 A How you live your life’s your own damn call His daddy helped him keep the happiness in his soul Promised that he’d pass it down when he got too old Stranger came along one day, took his heart away Always thought the dancing would bring him back someday Chorus Now he’s sitting on the curbside and his memories tends to fade The pigeons they all sing his songs and the people just turn away Now he’s keeping hookers and the holy men at bay They say, “dance with me Bojangles” and he doesn’t hesitate Chorus
