Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dsus4][Dm][Dsus4][Dm][Dsus4][Dm][Dsus4][Dm][C][Bdim][C]
[Bdim]Oh,

[Verse 1]
[G]
the shark, babe, has such [Am]teeth,
And it [D]shows them pearly [G]white.
Just a jackknife [Bbdim]has old McHeath,
[Am]babe,
And he keeps it [D]out of [G]sight.
You know, when that shark bites with his [Am]teeth,
babe,
Scarlet [D]billows start to [G]spread.
Fancy [Bm]gloves, though,
[G]wea[Bbdim]rs old McHeath, bab[Am]e
So there's never, never,
[D]ever a trace of [G]rest[Eb]
On the sidewalk [Fm]one [Ab]sunny[Bbm] morning
[Eb]Lies a body just oozing [Ab]light
And someone's sneaking
[Cbdim]round the cor[Bbm]ner
Could that someone perhaps by [Eb]chance
be Mac the [Ab]Knife?[Fm]
[E]Ah, there's a tug[A]boat dow[F#m]n[A]
by the [Bm]river going [D]slow
Where a [E]seaman's back,
just drooping on [A]down
That seaman's there,
[Cdim]strictly for the wav[Adim]es, dear[Bm]
Five will get you ten, old [D]Mac,
[E]he's back in [A]town[F#m]
[F]Yeah, by Louie [Bb]Miller,
he [Eb]disappeared, [Cm]babe
Af[F]ter drawing out all his
hard -earned [Bb]cash
And now Mac,
he spend[Dbdim]s just like a sailor[Cm][F][Cm]
Could it be, could it be,
[Fsus4]our boy's dyi[F]ng, sons -in -rash?[Bb]
[Gm]Now [F#]our girl Jenny Diver[B],
oh yeah, Suki [C#m]Chaudhry
Oh, Miss Lot[F#]tie Lanier, yeah, Lottie
And old [B]Lucy Brown
Oh, the line [Ddim]form s[Bdim]
[Ddim]on the right[Dbm], babe
Now that Mackie, yeah,
old [F#]Mackie is back in [B]town
[G]I said Jenny D[C]i ver, oh, Suki C[F]haudhry
Look out to Miss Lottie [G]Lanier,
not to mention old [C]Lucy [Am]Brown[C]
Yeah, the 9 [Cdim]-4's
[Ebdim]on the right way[G][Gm]
[G]Now [F]tha[G]t Mackey[F]'s
[G]back in [C]tow[Cm]n
Mack[C]y's, Macky's, [Cm]Macky's,
[C]Macky's, Macky's bac[Cm]k
Look out, old Macky is back!
[C][F#aug]
