Mr Bojangles - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

[Dan Cole]

Does anyone know where I can get the correct music for this tune? I have found chords on line, but am not sure if they are correct.

These are pretty good. (http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/walker-jerry-jeff/mr-bojangles-914.html) I can't remember what key NGDB did it in, but the chords on this site are close for the key of C. I think I'd go Am - Am7/G instead of Am7 - C/G, but other than that, these chords will do it. The chords on Guitaretab are wrong.

I hope that $4.95 doesn't blow your budget at MusicNotes (Mr. Bojangles). (http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0040051)

Thanks,

The music on KWW slink will work great.

That's a great video, but they seem to be lip synching to their record.

Yeah, 'cause I don't see a piano in the band...

[jimbob]

what does it mean when the music has C (g) or C (b)?
Probably pretty basic, but would appreciate the help.
Thanks

[AlanN]

C chord with a G bass note, I think.

[jimbob]

sounds good....thanks

I saw the Dirt Band opening for Willie Nelson a few months back and noticed that they have corrected the mistake they recorded in the lyrics. They used to sing:

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out.
He looked at me to be the eyes of age and the smoke ran out.

Now they sing:

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out.
He looked at me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.

as Jerry Jeff intended.
They put on a great show. Good to see John back playing with them.

Thread Necromancy!

So has anyone tabbed out the Mandolin backup parts for Mr. Bojangles?

[jfbrown42]

Oh, also, we're doing it in the key of 'G'.
