Mack The Knife [C]Bobby Darin

Verse 1
NC Well, the C6 shark has pretty Dm teeth dear
and he G7 keeps them pearly C6 white
Just a Am jack-knife has old Mac Dm Heath dear
and he G7 keeps it out of C6 sight

Verse 2
When the C6 shark bites with his Dm teeth dear,
scarlet G7 billows start to C6 spread
Fancy Am gloves though wears old Mac Dm Heath dear,
so there's G7 never a trace of C6 red

Verse 3
Sunday C6 morning, on the Dm sidewalk,
lies a G7 body oozing C6 life
And someone's Am creepin, round the Dm corner.
Could that G7 someone be Mack the C6 Knife?

Verse 4
From a C6 tug boat on the Dm river
a ceG7 ment bag's dropping C6 down
The ceAm ment's just for the Dm weight, dear.
I bet you G7 Mackyis back in C6 town

Verse 5
Louis C6 Miller disapDmpeared, dear,
after G7 drawing all his C6 cash
And old Mac Am Heath spends like a Dm sailor,
did our G7 boy do something C6 rash?

Verse 6

Lotte G7 Lenya; Sweet Lucy C6 Brown
Well, the Am line forms on the Dm right girls
now that G7 Macky's back in C6 town!
