I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ have a big story song about an old [Bm] _ _ [D] street dancer _ and the [A] stories he told [Bm] him to me.
_ [D]
We [G] spent a long [D] weekend in New [Bm] Orleans.
_ _ [D] _
_ A new [F#m] Lambo jacked up, _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] a new head crazed, [G#] back [Bm] at me.
[D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ And in the old folks' [A] jeep, _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ he jumped so [F#m] high, _ _ [F#] _
jumped [Bm] so high,
_ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ that a man could [A] touch down, _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [D] and that old man said,
You won't [Bm] believe _ [D] how high I'm [G] now. _ _
And that [A] old lamb, _
_ _ [D] he looked me in the _ _ [Bm] eye [D] today,
_ _ [G] _ _ _
spoke right [A] out, _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ he talked to me [F#m] tonight, _ [F#] _
talked [Bm] to me tonight.
[D] And he said, _ _ [E] _ _ he slapped his [A] big step, _ [F#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] said the name Bojangles, and he [Bm] danced with [D] it. _
_ _ [G] _ And then he crossed [A] the saddle, _ _ _ [D] and he got to the bank of that stance,
[Bm] and he jumped up high, _ _ [G] _ _ and he clicked his [A] heel. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ And he let go [F#m] and laughed, [F#] _
_ [Bm] and he let go and [D]
laughed,
_ [E] _ and he threw back his clothes on the [A] ground. _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Well, I missed you _ [F#m] _ _ Bojangles.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ He said, I missed you [F#m] _ _ Bojangles.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _
They call me _ [G] _ [A] Bojangles, _ because [D] I dance.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Em] _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] And for those who [D] missed the shows [Em] in Calumet,
_ [B] _ _ [C] _ _
_ you have [D] to say,
_ _ _ _ [G]
it's more than two [D] to [G] fifteen, you [Em] have to go in here.
[D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] They traveled about, _
_ _ [C] _ _ but the dog up [Bm] and _ _ [B]
died,
the girl [Em] up and died.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
After twenty years, he [D] still _ _ breathes. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] He said, I dance [Bm] now every [Em] chance in Hong Kong, _ _ _
_ [C] _ for _ drinks [D] and tips, _ _
_ _ [G] most of the time [D] I spend behind [Em] these _ [Bm] countercarts.
_ _ [C] _ _
Because I [G] drink [D] so big,
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ I shook [D] his [Bm] _
head,
and [B] as he shook [Em] his _ _ head, _
_ [A] _ I heard someone [D] ask him,
_ All right, round [Bm] and all the time, come on [D] and sing.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
Mister [E] _ _ [D] _ _
Bojangles,
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ Mister _ [D] _
_ _ Bojangles, _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ Mister _ [D] _ _ _ Bojangles,
_ [G] Won't you dance with [D] me?
