[F#m] [Bm]
[D] I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you

The old soft [A] shoe
[G] He'd jump [Bm] so high, [F#] jump [Bm] so [D] high
[E] Then he'd [Bm] lightly [D] touch down

[G] As he spoke right [A] out
[G] He talked of [Bm] life, [F#]
he talked [Bm] of life
[D]
[E] He [Bm] laugh-slapped his [A] leg a step
Said
[D] the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
[G]
Across the [A] cell
He [D] grabbed his pants and felt his stance
Oh, he jumped up high
[G] He clicked [A] his heels
[G] He let go [Bm] a [D] [F#] laugh, he let go [Bm] a laugh

[A]
[G] His dog up [D] and died, [F#]
he up [Bm] and [D]
died
[E] After twenty [Bm] years he [D] still [A] grieves
[D] Said I dance now at every chance in honky-tonks
[G]
For drinks and [A] tips
[D] But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
[G] Cause I drinks a [A] bit
[G] He shook [D] his [F#] head and as he [Bm] shook his [D]
head
[E] I heard [Bm] someone [D] ask [A] please
