[Verse 1]
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you, in worn-out shoes.
C C/B Am7 C/G F
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants, he did the old soft
G
shoe.
F C E7 Am C/G D7/F# G G7
He jumped so high, jumped so high, then he'd lightly touch down.
[Verse 2]

I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out.
C C/B Am7 C/G F G
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.

He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a
G G7
step.
[Chorus]

Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, dance.
