C Dm C G7
     


[Verse]
C                G7           D7  
Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
G7                C      G7    C
And it shows them pearly white 
                 Am Dm           A7  
Just a jackknife   has MacHeath dear
Dm           Dm7 C           
And he keeps it  out of sight
C7       G7                             
When the shark bites with his teeth dear
                                C
Scarlet billows start to spread 


[Chorus]
Am                  Dm                 
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath dear
Dm7                    C     
So there's not a trace of red
                G7      Am           G7
On the sidewalk sundayy morning baby  
                        C
Lies a body oozin' life 
Am                        Dm        
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
D7      G7      C             
Is this someone Mack the Knife
                      D7   
From a tugboat by the river


[Verse]
G7       D7    G7 C             
A cement bag's   drooppin' down
Am                    Dm                 
Yes the cement's just for the weight dear
                G7      C      
Bet you Macky's   back in town
G7                G      G7 Dm              
Lookie here Louie Miller   disappeared dear
G7                C        G7
After drawin' out his cash  
Am  A7                   D7 A7     D7
And MacHeath spends like a  sailor  
G7             C7             G7
Did our boy do somethin' rash

Oh the line forms on the right dears
D7       Dm      G7
