Louis Armstrong - Mack The Knife

[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…
