[Verse 1]
 
 C6                          Dm 
Oh the shark bites with his teeth dear,
       G7                 C 
And he shows them, pearly white.
       Am7                Dm 
Just a jack-knife has old Mack Heath babe,
       G7             C 
And he keeps it outta sight.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
NC                 C6                   Dm 
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe,
        G7               C 
Scarlet billows start to spread,
      Am7                        Dm 
Fancy gloves, though, wears Mack Heath babe,
           G7                      C 
So there's never, never a trace of red.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
           C6                     Dm 
Now on the sidewalk, oh on Sunday morning (don't ya know)
       G7                C 
Lies a body, just oozin' life,
                Am7                 Dm 
Yeah, someone's sneakin' 'round the corner,
           G7                  C 
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
          C6                  Dm 
There's a tugboat down by the river, (don't 'cha know?)
       G7                             C 
With a cement bag, just-a droopin' on down.
         Am7                    Dm 
Oh, that cement is just for the weight, dear,
               G        G7               C 
Five'll get ya ten ol' Mackie's back in town.
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
        C6 
Now you heard about Louie Miller,
      Dm                    G7 
He disappeared, babe, after drawin' out, 
        C 
All his hard earned cash.
             Am7                   Dm 
And now Mack he spends just like a sailor,
         G7                          C 
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
          C6                Dm 
Now Jenny Diver, oh, Sookey Tawdry,
      G7                   C 
Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown,
       Am7               Dm 
Oh the line forms on the right, babe,
             G7               C 
Now that old Mackie's back in town.
          C6                Dm 
Now Jenny Diver, oh, Sookey Tawdry,
      G7                   C 
Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown,
       Am7               Dm 
Oh the line forms on the right, babe,
             G7               C 
Now that old Mackie's back in town.
 C 
Now that old Mackie's Back!
