Hi Mark,

Well, if you have been inspired to learn the song, that is a good thing!

First, thanks for viewing the video and for commenting here.

Second, the chords and lyrics I am using are basically these: https://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/wa...ngles-914.html, though you can see that I have a capo on the 2nd fret and the 12-string is tuned to normal concert pitch. So for me and my voice, I am really playing the song in the key of D. You can also see in the recording that there are some additional embellishments that I am using: going from G to Gsus4 in places, or in the "Mr Bojangles" chorus, when going from G to Am, I often take the low E-string and add a G# note to step up from G to Am.

If I can help in any other way, let me know, here on this thread or via PM.

Thanks,
Glenn
