Bobby Darin

Capo I

    C           Dm
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white
    Am          Dm
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe

         C          Dm
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
    G7        C
Scarlet billows start to spread
   Am            Dm
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
      G7           C
So there's never, never a trace of red

      C
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh,
      Dm
whoo sunny morning, un huh
    G7        C
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
       Am         Dm
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
      G7         C
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

     C               Dm
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
    G7                C
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
     Am                 Dm
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
            G7       C
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

     C        Dm       G7
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
                   C
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
    Am             Dm
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
     G7             C
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

     C             Dm
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
        G7         C
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
    Am        Dm
