C                Dm
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
       G7                C
And he shows 'em, pearly white
       Am                Dm
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
       G7                  C
And he keeps it way out of sight

[Verse 2]

          C                    Dm
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
        G7                C
Scarlet billows begin to spread
      Am                Dm
Fancy gloves though has Macheath dear
           G7                      C
So there's never, never a trace of red

[Verse 3]

       C                    Dm
On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
       G7           C
Lies a body, oozin' life
          Am                  Dm
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
           G7                  C
Could that someone be Mack the knife

[Verse 4]

       C                    Dm
From a tugboat, on the river going slow
    G7                      C
A cement bag is dropping on down
         Am                     Dm
You know that cement is for the weight dear
        G7                      C
You can make a large bet Mackie's back in town

[Verse 5]

        C                     Dm
Look at Louis Miller, he dissappeared, dear,
      G7              C
After drawing out his cash
       Am                  Dm
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
       G7                      C
Do you suppose our boy, he's done something rash...
