Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[F][G][F][G][F][Ab][G]
the shot has pretty [Am]teeth, dear
And he shows them [D]pearly [G]white
Just [Bm]a jackknife has[Bbdim] McKeith, ba[Am]be
And he keeps [D]it out of [G]sight
[D]When that [G]shot bites, with its [Am]deep dip
Scarlet bel[D]lows start to [G]spread
Just [Bm]a gloved hand has[F#] me [Bbdim]keeping[Am]
And he never shows a [D]single drop [G]of red
[Eb]On the sidew[Ab]alk,
something more [Bbm]than coming down
Lies a body, [Eb]losing [Ab]life
Someone's sneakin'
[Cbm]round [Bb]the corner[Bbm]
Oh, could that someone [Eb]be Mack the K[Ab]nife?
[A]There's a tugboat down by the[Bm] river
With a cement bag [E]hangin' [B]down
[A]All the [C#m]seamen's [Cdim]just for waitin'[B][Bm]
If I forget your [E]ten old baggies
back in [A]town
[F]Old [Bb]Louie Miller, he [Cm]disappeared, babe
After he with[F]drew all his [Bb]cash
Now [Dm]MacHeath [Dbm]spends [Dbdim]like a sail[Cm]or
[F]Oh, could it [Cm]be our boy's [F]done [Bb]something [F#]rash?
[F#sus4][B][C#m][F#][B][D][Bm][Ddim][C#m][F#sus4]
[B]Tha[F#]t's Danny Div[B]er and Sukey Taw[C#m]dry
With Slotty Lenya and
[F#sus4]old Lucy B[B]rown
All the [D#]lion [B]form[Ddim] s on t[G]he rig[C#m]ht bank
Now that [F#]Macky's, oh yes [F#sus4]Macky
[F#]He's back [B]in town[A][B]
[A]He's [B]back in town
