By Django Walker
This song is done with walkdowns from D to G to Em in the verses
Intro chords:
[D] [D/F#] [D/E] [D/A] [G] [G/F#] [Em]
Well hes a [D]modern [D/F#]day Boja[D/E]ngles [D/A]and his [G]mind [G/F#]became [Em]tangled
As hes [D]talking [D/F#]to the [D/E]pigeons [D/A]and the [G]people [G/F#]passing [Em]by
Now the [D]hookers [D/F#]and the [D/E]holy [D/A]men, [G]they [G/F#]both tried to [Em]save him
But [D]every[D/F#]thing they [D/E]talked of [D/A]seemed to [G]sound just [G/F#]like a [Em]lie
Hes a [D]dancer [D/F#]from the [D/E]Southland [D/A]and hes [G]proud to [G/F#]take a [Em]home stand
A[D]gainst this [D/F#]big old [D/E]city [D/A]that keeps [G]looking [G/F#]over for [D]him
Chorus:
Gonna keep on [G]dancing, keep on [D]rolling time away
[Bm]Lifes not a waltz; its a [E7]faster [A]pace
[G]Keep on two stepping, [D]through it all and
[Bm]How you live your lifes your [E7]own damn [A]call
His daddy helped him keep the happiness in his soul
Promised that hed pass it down when he got too old
Stranger came along one day, took his heart away
Always thought the dancing would bring him back someday
Chorus
Now hes sitting on the curbside and his memories tends to fade
The pigeons they all sing his songs and the people just turn away
Now hes keeping hookers and the holy men at bay
They say, dance with me Bojangles and he doesnt hesitate
Chorus
