I knew a man         Bojangles and he'll dance for you      

Bbmaj7            C            Dm7  C/E
          In worn out shoes

F                       C/E                  Dm7           C         
    With silver hair,       a ragged shirt       and baggy pants       

Bbmaj7                       C  
         He would do the old    soft shoe

Bbmaj7                 Am      A7               Dm     Dm/C                
         He would jump so high,         jump so high                      

G7/B                  Bb/C             C      Dm7  C/E
then he’d lightly           touch down
Verse 2
F                       C/E                Dm7                     C    
    He told me of a time    he worked with    -    with  minstrel shows         

Bbmaj7                   C
        traveling throughout the south

F                      C/E               Dm7         C                   
   He spoke with tears     for 15 years, how his,    how his dog and he,     

Bbmaj7               C
         they would travel about

Bbmaj7           Am                        Dm    Dm/C     G7/B                   
         But his dog up and died,                         curled up and died      

Bb/C                                          C     Dm7  C/E
      and after 20 years he still grieves
Verse 3
F               C/E           Dm7                 C      
    He said “I dance now at      every chance in Honky Tonks           

Bbmaj7          C                  Dm7  C/E
         for my drinks and tips

F                       C/E   Dm7                 C                        
    But most the time I       spend behind these county bars       

Bbmaj7                  C
            you see son I,   I drinks a bit

Bbmaj7              Am                    Dm    Dm/C     G7/B                   
           Then he shook his head,            O Lord,    when he shook his head

Bb/C                                              C                  
      I could swear I heard somebody say please, please
Chorus
Dm                C               Dm                 C

Dm        C                        F         C/E        Dm7           C   Dm7 C/E
