{c:Verse 1}
[N.C.]Well, the [C6]shark has pretty [Dm]teeth dear, and he [G7]shows them pearly [C6]white
[C]Just a [Am]jack-knife has old Mac[Dm]Heath dear, and he [G7]keeps it out of [C6]sight
{c:Verse 2}
[N.C.]When the [C6]shark bites with his [Dm]teeth dear, scarlet [G7]billows start to [C6]spread
[C]Fancy [Am]gloves though wears old Mac[Dm]Heath dear, so there's [G7]never a trace of [C6]red
{c:Verse 3}
[N.C.]Sunday [C6]morning, on the [Dm]sidewalk, lies a [G7]body oozing [C6]life
[C]Someone's [Am]creepin' round the [Dm]corner, could that [G7]someone be Mack the [C6]Knife?

[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C6] [C6] [Dm] [G7] [C6]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C6]

{c:Verse 4}
[N.C.]From a [C6]tug boat on the [Dm]river, a ce[G7]ment bag's dropping [C6]down
[C]The [Am]cement's just for the [Dm]weight dear, bet you [G7]Macky is back in [C6]town
{c:Verse 5}
[N.C.]Louis [C6]Miller disa[Dm]ppeared dear, after [G7]drawing all his [C6]cash
[C]And [Am]MacHeath spends like a [Dm]sailor, did our [G7]boy do something [C6]rash?
{c:Verse 6}
[N.C.]Jenny [C6]Diver, Sukey [Dm]Tawdry, Lotte [G7]Lenya, Sweet Lucy [C6]Brown
[C]Well, the [Am]line forms on the [Dm]right girls now that [G7]Macky's back in [C6]town.

{c:Instrumental} [C6] [Dm] [G7] [C6]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C6] [C6] [Dm] [G7] [C6]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C6]

{c:Repeat Verse 6}
[N.C.]Jenny [C6]Diver, Sukey [Dm]Tawdry, Lotte [G7]Lenya, Sweet Lucy [C6]Brown
[C]Well, the [Am]line forms on the [Dm]right girls now that [G]Macky[G7] [!STOP!] is back in [C]town!

#Actual last verse:
#And the ghastly fire in Soho, Seven children at a go-
#In the crowd stands Mack the knife, but He's not asked and doesn't know.
#And the child bride in her nightie,Whose assailant's still at large
#Violated in her slumbers-Mackie how much did you charge?

Odd, all those times you were in Bar Les Tapes I seem to recall you doing crosswords and puzzles - I don't think I ever heard you sing or even mention playing! Rather impressed! I really liked your straight forward, almost emotionless delivery (but I have been tagged a 'Goth' in one book, so what do I know!) rather than the 'all trumpet' versions of so many, as it gives it a darker, yet more genuine edge. Take care sweetie. Gaz x
