            D       D6       Cdim         A7       
Well, the shark has   pretty teeth dear 
A7/13-     A7       A4/7      A7  D6 
And he keeps them pearly white 
         Bm                    Em                           
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath dear,  
    G/B   A4/7         A7       D      Cdim   A7 
And he keeps it   out of sight 
            D       D6       Cdim         A7      A7/13-  
When the shark bites with his teeth dear 
    A7       A4/7      A7  D6 
Scarlet billows start to spread 
         Bm                    Em                          G/B    
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath dear  
  A4/7       A7       D      Cdim   A7 
So there's never a trace of red 
            D       D6       Cdim         A7 
Sunday morning on the sidewalk   
      A7/13-     A7       A4/7  A7  D6 
Lies a body oozing life 
         Bm                    Em                        G/B  
And some one's creeping around the corner 
   A4/7        A7       D      Cdim   A7 
Could that some one be Mack the knife 
            D       D6       Cdim         A7    
From a tug boat on the river a cement  
   A7/13-     A7       A4/7  A7  D6 
Bag's dropping down 
         Bm                    Em                          G/B    
The cement's just for the weight dear, five'll get  
A4/7        A7       D      Cdim   A7 
You ten ol' Macky's back in town 
            D       D6       Cdim      
Louis Miller disappeared dear 
    A7      A7/13-     A7      A4/7 A7 D6 
After drawing all his cash 
         Bm                    Em                       
And old MacHeath spends like a sailor  
    G/B   A4/7        A7       D     Cdim  A7 
Did our boy do someting rash 
            D       D6       Cdim         A7    
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver, look out 
   A7/13-     A7       A4/7      A7  D6 
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown 
         Bm                    Em                     
Well, the line forms on the right girls 

      G/B     A4/7         A7       D       
Now that Macky's back in town
