[Verse 1]
         Bb                    Cm
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
        F7                Bb
And it shows them pearly white
        Gm                   Cm
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
        F7                   Bb
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight


[Verse 2]
                                        Cm
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
         F7               Bb
Scarlet billows start to spread
       Gm                       Cm
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
           F7                      Bb  B
So there's never, never a trace of red


[Verse 3]
            B                                 C#m
Now on the sidewalk, uh huh, huh, oh, Sunday morning, uh huh
       F#7               B
Lies a body just oozing life
           G#m                 C#m
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
           F#7                    B    C
Could that someone be Mack, the knife?


[Verse 4]
           C                                      Dm
There's a tug boat, uh huh, huh huh, down by the river, dont you know?
         G7                             C
Where a cement bags just a-drooping on down
          Am                                Dm
Oh, that cement is just, its there for the weight, dear
          G7                               C    Db

                           Db              Ebm
Now d'ya hear about Louis Miller, he disappeared, babe
       Ab7                 Db
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
         Bbm                         Ebm
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
         Ab7                          Db   D
Could it be our boy's done something rash?
