Mack The Knife Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, the shark has pretty tee[Em]th, dear,
And he shows [A]them pearly [D]white.
Just [Bm]a jackknife has McK[Em]eith, dear,
And he [A]keeps [Em]it ou[A]t of s[D]ight.
When the shark bites with his [Em]teeth,
dear,
Scarlet bil[A]lows [Em]start [A]to [D]spread.
Fancy [Bm]gloves, though,
[F#m]wears Macbeth[Em], dear,
Though there's [A]not [Em]a tra[A]ce of re[D]d.
[Bb]On the s[Eb]idewalk, S[Bb]unday mo[Fm]rning,
Lies [Bb]a body, oozing [Eb]life.
Someone's [Cm]sneaking round [Fm]the corner,
Is the [Bb]someone, [Fm]mark[Bb] the knife?[Eb]
From a tugboat by [Fm]the river
A cement [Bb]bag's dropping [Eb]down
The cement's [Cm]just for the [Fm]wet, dear
Bet [Bb]you muck[Bbsus4]ies back in town[Bb][D#]
[Baug]Louis Mi[B]ll[E]er disap[C#m]peared, dear[F#m],
After drawing Artie's [E]cash
And [C#m]Mackie's fans like [F#m]a seller
Did our boy do [Bsus4]something [E]rash?
Sukito Dreef, [C#m]Jenny Di[F#m]ver,
Polly Pitchell, Lucy [E]Brown
Oh, the [C#m]line forms on the r[F#m]ight, dear,
now that Mackie's back [A]in [E]town
[C#m]Yes, t[E]he l[C#m]ine falls on th[F#m]e right, de[A]ar
Now [F#m]that Marky's [B]back in
[E]town[C#m][E][F#m][C#m]
[E]You[C#m][E][F#m]
