[Verse 1]
Dig, [Dm]man, there goes Mack The Knife

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C][Dm][G][C]
[Am][Dm][C][G][C][Am][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, the [C]shark has [Am]pretty [Dm]teeth, [Am]dear
[Dm]And it shows them [G]pearly white[C]
[Am]Just a [C]jackknife [Am]has MacHe[Dm]ath, dear
And he keeps it [G]out [C]of sight
[Am]When the [C]shark [G]bites [C]with his tee[Dm]th,
[G]dear
Scarlet billows start to [C]spread
Fancy [Am]gloves, though,
wears [Dm]MacHeath, dear
So there's not [G]a trace of [C]red

[Verse 3]
[Am]On t[G]he s[Am]idew[C]alk,
sundayy[Dm]morning, [A]bab[Dm]y[G]
Lies a body oozin' [C]life
Someone's [Am]sneakin' 'round the [Dm]corner
Is this [G]someone Mack the Knife?
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]From a [C]tug[Am]boat, [C]by [G]the riv[Dm]er[G][Dm]
[G]A cement bag[Dm]'s dro[G]oppin' d[Am]own
[C]Yes[Am], the cement's just
for the [Dm]weight, dear
Bet [G]you Macky's back in [C]town
Lookie here, Louie [G]Miller
[C]dis[G]appeared, dear
After drawin' out his [C]cash
And [Am]MacHeath spends like a sail[Dm]or
Did our [G]boy do somethin' rash?

[Verse 5]
[C]
Sukey [Dm]Tawdry, Jenny Diver[G],
[Dm]Lott[G]e Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown[C]
Oh, the [Am]line forms on the [Dm]right, dears
Now [G]that Macky's back in [C]town
[Eb]Take it, Satch

[Outro 1]
