Mack The Knife chords by Patti Page

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: D (4x)

            D       D6       Cdim         A7
Well, the shark has   pretty teeth dear
A7/13-     A7       A4/7      A7  D6
And he keeps them pearly white
         Bm                    Em
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath dear,
    G/B   A4/7         A7       D      Cdim   A7
And he keeps it   out of sight
            D       D6       Cdim         A7      A7/13-
When the shark bites with his teeth dear
    A7       A4/7      A7  D6
Scarlet billows start to spread
         Bm                    Em                          G/B
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath dear
  A4/7       A7       D      Cdim   A7
So there's never a trace of red
            D       D6       Cdim         A7
Sunday morning on the sidewalk
      A7/13-     A7       A4/7  A7  D6
Lies a body oozing life
         Bm                    Em                        G/B
And some one's creeping around the corner
   A4/7        A7       D      Cdim   A7
Could that some one be Mack the knife
            D       D6       Cdim         A7
From a tug boat on the river a cement
   A7/13-     A7       A4/7  A7  D6
Bag's dropping down
         Bm                    Em                          G/B
The cement's just for the weight dear, five'll get
A4/7        A7       D      Cdim   A7
You ten ol' Macky's back in town
            D       D6       Cdim
Louis Miller disappeared dear
    A7      A7/13-     A7      A4/7 A7 D6
After drawing all his cash
         Bm                    Em
And old MacHeath spends like a sailor
    G/B   A4/7        A7       D     Cdim  A7
Did our boy do someting rash
            D       D6       Cdim         A7
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver, look out
   A7/13-     A7       A4/7      A7  D6
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
         Bm                    Em
Well, the line forms on the right girls
      G/B     A4/7         A7       D
Now that Macky's back in town
