Mack The Knife by Louis Armstrong
Mack The Knife
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
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...

repeat it twice
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
So there? s not a trace, mmm of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin', baby
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone sneakin' around the corner
Is the someone, Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat, by the river
A cement bag's drooppin' down
Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack, he's back in town
Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
Now that Mack, he's back in town
Take it, Satch
