He said his name ‘Bojangles’ and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance he jumped up high
He clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance

He said ‘I dance now at every chance in Honky Tonks
for drinks and tips’
But most the time I spend behind these County bars

Our guardian star lost all its glow
The day that I lost you
It lost all its glitter the day you said «no»
And its grey skies turned to blue

Like him I am doubtful
That your love is true
So if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

From 1964 live/ Newport Folk Festival

nb; -> means slide into note/ chord.

I have ignored the first couple of notes/chords before the first solo,
and the last few notes/chords at the end.

One more unusual phrase which I’ll call «stammering»
makes up line 4. I have broken line 4 into 4 sub-phrases to make it easier to follow.
The fifth line [ -2 -5] is coming out of the «stammer» and into the
next phrase.

1st solo;

6 7 7 -7 7 -65 65 -54
5 -6 6 -4 4
4 -4 5 6 -6 6 -6 65 -5 5

-2sb 23
-2->-[23] 2
-2sb 23
-2->-[23] 2
-2 >>>-5

7 7 -6->-65 6 65 -5
5 -6 6 5 4
4 -4 5->6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4sb 4 43

2nd solo;

->->7 7 7 7 -7
6 -6 6 -6 -6 6

5 -6 6 -4 4

4 -45 45 -65 65 -45 4
4 -45 45 -65 65 -45 4
4 -45 45 -65 65 -45 4
4 -45 45 -65 6 5 4

45 -45 45 567 567 567 567
-567 567 -456 456
-354 456 -4…..

567->67->7 7 7 7 -7 ***
7 -6 6->5 -4
5 -6 6 -4 4

4 -4 5 56 56 56 56 -56 56 -45 45
-45 34 34

also nb;

*** ignore «567->67->» initially if it’s confusing.
some notes are actually chords but
not like 56 for eg but may be 5 with
some 4 and/or 6 leaking in.

please pm me with any corrections and I will edit.

Cheers, Chris

HSB= HALF STEP BEND
FSB= FULL STEP BEND

The tab below is to play the song Mr Tambourine Man in D on a C harmonica,

you can also play it on a F harmonica which means you’ll play the song in G

(the original key of the song).

You need to be comfortable with draw bends to make it sound well.

the old soft shoe,

Verses

Oh, darling How I love you, what more is there to say.
I love you like a barefoot girl loves a summer day.
The way a wandering gypsy loves the changing sea—
Just like the restless river loves old New Orleans.

chorus

I love a tiny village, a quite country town.
A house, a little garden, with kiddies running ’round.
You’d be a faithful husband, I’d be a faithful friend
Until I heard that old steamboat coming ’round the bend.

At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore’s down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
He’s tradin’ in his Checy for a Cadillac

And if he can’t drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
