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!
