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.

1.^COh the shark bites with his ^Dmteeth dear, And he ^G7shows them, pearly ^Cwhite. Just a ^Amjack-knife has old ^DmMack Heath babe, And he ^G7keeps it outta ^Csight.

NC C Dm 2. You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe,

Scarlet ^G7billows start to ^Cspread, Fancy ^Amgloves, though, wears Mack ^DmHeath babe, So there's ^G7never, never a trace of ^Cred.

3. Now on the ^Csidewalk, oh on Sunday ^Dmmorning (don't ya know) Lies a ^G7body, just oozin' ^Clife, Yeah, someone's ^Amsneakin' 'round the ^Dmcorner, Could that ^G7someone be Mack the ^CKnife?

4.There's a ^Ctugboat down by the ^Dmriver, (don't 'cha know?) With a ^G7cement bag, just-a droopin' on ^Cdown. Oh, that ^Amcement is just for the ^Dmweight, dear, Five'll get ya ^Gten ol' M^G7ackie's back in t^Cown.

5.Now you ^Cheard about Louie Miller, He dis^Dmappeared, babe, after ^G7drawin' out, All his ^Chard earned cash. And now Mack ^Amhe spends just like a ^Dmsailor, Could it ^G7be our boy's done somethin' ^Crash?

6.Now Jenny ^CDiver, oh, Sookey ^DmTawdry, Polly ^G7Peachum and old Lucy ^CBrown, Oh the ^Amline forms on the ^Dmright, babe, Now that old ^G7Mackie's back in ^Ctown.

REPEAT 6th VERSE and ADD:

^CNow that old Mackie's Back!

A golden oldie from Kraziekhat!
