[G] In _ worn [A] out shoes _ _
[D] With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants _ _
[G] _ _ In the old [A] soft shoe
_ _ [G] He'd _ _ jump [D] so _ [F#] high, _ jump [Bm] so high
[D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G#] Then he'd lightly touch [A] _ down

Mr.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ Bojangles would [D] _
dance
_ _ _ [Bm] _
I [D] _ _ _
met him in a cell in New Orleans
I was _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ down and _ out
[A] _ [D] He looked at me to feed the eyes and face
_ [G] _ _
As he spoke right [A] _
out
_ _ [G] _ _
He talked [Bm] of _ [F#] life, he talked [Bm] of life
[D] _ _ _ [E] He'd _ [Bm] laugh, slap his [A] legs there
_ He _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] said the name Bojangles and [Bm] he'd dance to [D] lick
_ _ [G] _
Across _ _ [A] the cell
_ _ [D] He'd grab his pants and felt his stance
Oh, he'd jump so high
_ _ [G] _ _
_ He'd click [A] his _ heels
_ _ [G] _
He'd let go [Bm] and _ [F#] laugh, he'd let go [Bm] and _ laugh
_ _ [E] _
He'd shoot back his clothes [A] all _ _ around _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _

_ _ _ _ He'd dance for those at the shows and county _ _ _ [G] fairs _
_ Throughout the South
[A] _ _ [D] He'd smoke for years, for 15 years, how his dog and him
_ [G] He'd _ _ _ travel _ [A]
about
_ _ [G] His _ _ dog up [Bm] and died, [F#] _ he up [Bm] and _ [D] died
_ _ [E] For 20 years he [A] still _ _ _ _ breathed _
_ _ _ _ [D] He said I'd dance now at every chance and honky _ _ _ [G]-tonk
_ He'd [A] cringe some tears
_ _ [D] But most of the time I'd spend behind his county bar
_ _ [G] As I'd drink [A] some beer
_ _ _ [G] He _ _ shook [D] his head [F#] and as he [Bm] shook his head
