[Verse]
          A          A6     Bm          Bm7
Well, the shark has, pretty teeth dear,
       E           E7     A
And he keeps them, pearly white.
       F#m        F#m7         Bm          Bm7
Just a jackknife, has old Mack Heath dear,
       E        E7sus4 E7     A      E7
And he keeps it        out of sight.
 
[Verse]
         A            A6       Bm          Bm7
When the shark bites, with his teeth dear,
        E        E7       A
Scarlet billows, start to spread.
       F#m            F#m7           Bm          Bm7
Fancy  gloves though, wears old Mack Heath dear,
           E      E7sus4 E7         A    E7
So there's never,        a trace of red.
 
[Verse]
       A        A6     Bm        Bm7
Sunday morning, on the sidewalk,
       E     E7     A
Lies A body, oozing life.
               F#m       F#m7       Bm      Bm7
And some one's creeping, around the corner,
           E       E7sus4 E7          A      E7
Could that someone        be Mack the knife?
 
[Verse]
          A          A6     Bm          Bm7
From a tug [A] boat, [A6] on the [Bm] river, [Bm7]
    E           E7       A
A cement bag's, dropping down.
      F#m          F#m7    Bm           Bm7
The cement's just, for the weight dear,
                 E    E7sus4 E7                  A     E7
Five 'll get you ten,        old Mackys’ back in town.
 
[Verse]
      A       A6   Bm           Bm7
Louis Miller, disappeared dear,
      E        E7      A
After drawing, all his cash.
             F#m           F#m7   Bm      Bm7
And old Mack Heath spends, like a sailor.
        E   E7sus4 E7           A     E7
Did our boy        do something rash?
 
[Verse]
     A       A6    Bm     Bm7
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver,
              E            E7      A
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown.
          F#m         F#m7   Bm           Bm7
Well, the line forms, on the right girls,
         E               A      D A E A
Now that Mackys’ back in town!
