Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mr. Bojangles(harp) guitar tab

3 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you

3 -6 6 6

In worn out shoes

3 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4

With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants

3 -6 6 6

The old soft shoe

4 -6 6 6 5 4 -6 -7 6 5

He jumped so high, he jumped so high

6 -5 6 -5 4 4 -4

Then he'd lightly touch down

-6-7 -6 6 5 -6-7 -6 6 5 -6-7 -6 6 5

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was

-6 6 6

Down and out.

3 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4

He looked to me to be the eyes of age

3 3 -6 6 6

As he spoke right out

4 -6 6 6 5 4 -6 -7 6 5

He talked of life he talked of life

6 -5 6 -5 4 4 -4

He laugh-slapped his leg a step

3 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4

He said the name, Bojangles and he danced a lick

3 -6 6 6

Across the cell

3 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4

He grabbed his pants a better stance, he jumped up high

3 -6 6 6

He clicked his heels

4 -6 6 6 5 4 -6 -7 6 5

He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh

6 -5 6 -5 4 4 -4

Shook back his clothes all around.

-6-7 -6 6 5 -6-7 -6 6 5 -6-7 -6 6 5

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
