Mr Bojangles

Jim Croce

 GBm
knew a man Bojangles
Em (riff)Em7-Em-Em/F#-C
And he'll dance for you
 CD
   In worn out shoes
G Bm Em (riff)Em7-Em-Em/F#-C
With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants
 CD
   He would do the old soft shoe

Bridge
 CBm
  He would jump so high
 BEm-Em7-A7
 Jump  so hi-igh
 A7D
   Then he lightly  touched down

He told me of the time he worked with Minstrel shows
Travelling throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he, they would travel about.
But his dog up and died, he up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved

Chorus
 EmD
  That's mister Bojangles
 EmD
  Calling mister Bojangles
 EmDGBm
 Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
Em Riff
And dance please dance

He said "I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit"
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please

Chorus
 EmD
  That's mister Bojangles
 EmD
  Calling mister Bojangles
 EmDGBm
 Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
Em Riff
And dance please dance
