Mr. Bojangles chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Chords

VERSE

G/F#/Em
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
C           D/E/F# 
In worn out shoes
G/F#/Em 
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants 
C
The old soft shoe
C            D               Em
He jumped so high, jumped so high 
A                       D/C/B
Then he lightly touched down
G/F#/Em 
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was 
C        D/E/F# 
down and out 
G/F#/Em 
He looked to me to be the eyes of age 
C                 D
as he spoke right out
C            D               Em
He talked of life, talked of life, he
A                             D/C/B
laughed clicked his heels and stepped 
D/E/F#
He said his name "Bojangles" and he danced a lick
C          D/E/F#
across the cell
G/F#/Em 
He grabbed his pants and spread his stance,
                     C
Oh he jumped so high and then he clicked
    D
his heels
C           D               Em
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
A                              D/C/B
and shook back his clothes all around


CHORUS 
Em    D       Em     D 
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Em    D        G/F#/Em
Mr. Bojangles, dance

VERSE

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs 
throughout the south 
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him 
traveled about 
The dog up and died, he up and died 
And after 20 years he still grieves 

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks 
for drinks and tips 
But most the time I spend behind these county bars 
'cause I drinks a bit 
He shook his head, and as he shook his head 
I heard someone ask him please 

CHORUS
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance..
