Mr Bojangles - Robbie Williams
(Transcribed by Andy Clark - youtube.com/andyclarkpiano - facebook.com/andyclarkpiano)
Intro
F C/E Dm7 C Dm7C/E
/ / | / / | / / | | x 4
Verse 1
F C/E Dm7 C
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
That’s Mr. Bojangles, Calling Mr. Bojangles
Dm C F C/E Dm7 C Dm7 C/E
Mr. Bojangles Come back and dance, and dance, and dance, please dance
Dm C Dm C Dm C
Mr. Bojangles, Mr Bojangles Mr. Bojangles
F C/E Dm7 C Dm7 C/E
Come back and dance, and dance, and dance, please dance
Outro
