(F,C,Dm,C,Dm,C7)

[Verse]
  F         C
I knew a man Bojangles
Dm                  C  Dm C         
And he'll dance for you
Bb   C             Dm C7    
  In worn out shoes
F                F                Dm     C    Dm C     
 With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants
Bb                C                
  He would do the old soft shoe

[Bridge]
Bb        Am
 He would jump so high
Aadd9 A     Dm  F
Jump  so hi-igh
G                C             Dm C7
  Then he lightly  touched down

[Verse]
F
 Told me of the time
C               Dm             C   Dm C        
 He worked with, with minstrel shows
Bb                C            Dm C7  
 Travelling troughout the south
F                  C
He spoke with tears for fifteen years
    Dm                  C Dm C         
How his how his dog and he
Bb          C
 They would travel about
Bb       Am             A Aadd9 A 
 But his dog up and died
Dm  C  G
       Got up and died
C
 After twenty years he still grieves
He said 

[Verse]
F           C  Dm                    C    Dm C
I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
Bb      C              Dm C7
 For my drinks and tips
F                  C    Dm                         C   Dm C
 But most the time I, I spend behind these country bars
Bb           C        
 You see son I,I drink a bit

[Bridge 2]
Bb       Am            Aadd9 A       
 Then he shook his head
Dm  F     G        
 Oh Lord, when he shook his head
F                                                  A
 I can swear I heard somebody saying please, please

[Chorus]
Dm               Am

Dm                Am
