Mack the Knife:Bobby Darin, '59. (easy version). Somebody asked

me about this song a while back - I've now just come across

the original version. I've 'easied' it up so beginners

can enjoy it too. The experts can jazz it up their ownselves.

You can throw a lot of different licks into it

and make it sound pretty good. KK.

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!

A golden oldie from Kraziekhat!
