Mack The Knife (F)
Bobby Darin
[N/C] Well, the [F] shark has pretty [Gm] teeth dear
and he keeps them [C7] pearly- [F] white
Just a [Dm] jack-knife has old Mac [Gm] Heath dear
and he keeps it [C7] out of [F] sight.
When the [F] shark bites with his [Gm] teeth dear,
scarlet billows [C7] start to [F] spread
Fancy [Dm] gloves though wears old Mac [Gm] Heath dear,
so there's never [C7] a trace of [F] red.
Sunday [F] morning, on the [Gm] sidewalk,
lies a [C7] body oozing [F] life
And someone's [Dm] creeping round the [Gm] corner.
Could that someone [C7] be Mack the [F] Knife?
[D7]
Key change!:
From a [G] tug boat on the [Am] river
a ce[D7] ment bag is dropping [G] down
The ce[Em] ment's just for the [Am] weight, dear.
I bet you Macky [D7] is back in [G] town.
Louis [G] Miller disap[Am] peared, dear,
after [D7] drawing all his [G] cash
And old Mac[Em] Heath spends like a [Am] sailor,
did our boy [D7] do something [G] rash?
[E7]
Key change!:
Jenny [A] Diver; Sukey [Bm] Tawdry;
Lotte [E7] Lenya; Sweet Lucy [A] Brown
Well, the [A] line forms on the [Bm] right girls
now that Macky's [E7] back in [A] town!
Jenny [A] Diver; Sukey [Bm] Tawdry;
Lotte [E7] Lenya; Sweet Lucy [A] Brown
Well, the [A] line forms on the [Bm] right girls.
You know that [E7] Macky..........
[*STOP] He’s back in [A] town!
