Biografia:
James Joseph Croce (Philadelphia, 10 de janeiro de 1943 – 20 de setembro de 1973), popularmente conhecido como Jim Croce, foi um compositor e cantor estadunidense.
Começou sua carreira profissional tocando em bandas, quando era um estudante na universidade de Villanova, em 1964. No final dos anos 1960 a Capitol Records assinou Jim e sua esposa Ingrid a um contrato de gravação. Seu álbum foi um fracasso e Jim retornou a sua cidade natal e trabalhou por um tempo como motorista de caminhão.

G Bm
I knew a man Bojangles
Em (riff)Em7-Em-Em/F#-C
And he'll dance for you
(C) D
In worn out shoes
G Bm Em (riff)Em7-Em-Em/F#-C
With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants
(C) D
He would do the old soft shoe
Bridge
C Bm
He would jump so high
B Em-Em7-A7
Jump so hi-igh
A7 D
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
Em D
That's mister Bojangles
Em D
Calling mister Bojangles
Em D G Bm
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
Em D
That's mister Bojangles
Em D
Calling mister Bojangles
Em D G Bm
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
Em Riff
And dance please dance
Probably not perfect as I don't have much time but it works...
