Intro chords:
[D] [D/F#] [D/E] [D/A] [G] [G/F#] [Em]
Well he’s a [D]modern [D/F#]day Boja[D/E]ngles [D/A]and his [G]mind [G/F#]became [Em]tangled
As he’s [D]talking [D/F#]to the [D/E]pigeons [D/A]and the [G]people [G/F#]passing [Em]by
Now the [D]hookers [D/F#]and the [D/E]holy [D/A]men, [G]they [G/F#]both tried to [Em]save him
But [D]every[D/F#]thing they [D/E]talked of [D/A]seemed to [G]sound just [G/F#]like a [Em]lie
He’s a [D]dancer [D/F#]from the [D/E]Southland [D/A]and he’s [G]proud to [G/F#]take a [Em]home stand
A[D]gainst this [D/F#]big old [D/E]city [D/A]that keeps [G]looking [G/F#]over for [D]him
Chorus:
Gonna keep on [G]dancing, keep on [D]rolling time away
[Bm]Life’s not a waltz; it’s a [E7]faster [A]pace
[G]Keep on two stepping, [D]through it all and
[Bm]How you live your life’s your [E7]own damn [A]call
His daddy helped him keep the happiness in his soul
Promised that he’d pass it down when he got too old
Stranger came along one day, took his heart away
Always thought the dancing would bring him back someday
Chorus
Now he’s sitting on the curbside and his memories tends to fade
The pigeons they all sing his songs and the people just turn away
Now he’s keeping hookers and the holy men at bay
They say, “dance with me Bojangles” and he doesn’t hesitate
