Bob Dylan - Mr. Bojangles
Written by: Jerry Jeff Walker
Dylan's cover released on the album "Dylan" (1973)
OK, basically I find this song easiest to play by fingerpicking. Use your thumb
to play the bass notes on the first and third count of every measure and your
fingers to strum.
C/B = x2x010
Am7/G = 3x2010

[Intro]
| C | % | % | % |
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am Am7/G
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
F G
In worn out shoes
C C/B Am Am7/G
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants
F G
That old soft shoe
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high
D7 G C/G G7
Then he'd lightly touch down
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles!
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles!
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am Am7/G
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
F G
I was down and out
C C/B Am Am7/G
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
F G
as he spoke right out
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He talked of life, he talked of life,
D7 G C/G G7
laughing slapped his leg stale
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
F G
all across the cell
C C/B Am Am7/G
He grabbed his pants for a better stance,
F G
oh, he jumped so high and clicked up his heels
F C E7 Am Am7/G
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh,
D7 G C/G G7
shook back his clothes all around
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance, yeah, dance
[Verse 4]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
F G
throughout the south
C C/B
He spoke with tears of 15 years
Am Am7/G F G
of how his dog and him just traveled all about
F C E7 Am Am7/G
His dog up and died, he up and died,
D7 G C/G G7
and after 20 years he still grieves
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
[Verse 5]
C C/B Am Am7/G
He said "I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks
F G
for drinks and tips
C C/B Am Am7/G
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars,
F G
'cause I drinks a bit"
F C E7 Am
He shook his head, and then he shook his head,
Am7/G D7 G C/G G7
I heard someone ask him, please?
[Chorus]
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
Am Em
Mr. Bojangles,
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Dance ...
C C/B Am Am7/G F G
Mr. Bojangles, dance
C C/B Am Am7/G F G C
Dance ...

i think on the mr bojangles part from am to em it should be am to g
+8
Really good except:
for the chorus the Em should be a G
and right before the chorus after the G there should be a short G7
Good job!
+5
I love the treatment here and have read the comments and played it both ways with the em and the G and I frankly can see it done either way. I personally think the em brings a little more emotion to it although I guess none of us know how it was originally written.
The other thing that I would ask of the talented people who do this work that we get to enjoy is this. I am old and I don't learn and remember chord progressions as easily as I did in my youth. Its much easier for me to play when the author puts the chords all the way through the piece rather than just the first verse and chorus.And almost impossible for me to play when its put up this way. I am also having to enlarge the type on the page in order to see well enough to play and that does not allow me to see the whole thing on one screen.
The songs that I enjoy most and play the best are those where the entire song is listed with the chords all the way through.
Thank you again for your work.
