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?
Instrumental: (same chords as verse)
C6 Dm G7 C6 Am Dm G7 C6
Verse 4:
From a [C6] tug boat on the [Dm] river
a ce[G7] ment bag's dropping [C6] down
The ce[Am] ment's just for the [Dm] weight, dear.
I bet you [G7] Mackyis back in [C6] town
Verse 5:
Louis [C6] Miller disap[Dm]peared, 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:
Jenny [C6] Diver; Sukey [Dm] Tawdry;
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!
