Well, the [A] shark
has, [A6] pretty
[Bm] teeth dear,
[Bm7]
And he [E] keeps
them, [E7] pearly
[A] white.
Just a [F#m]
jackknife, [F#m7]
has old Mack [Bm]
Heath dear, [Bm7]
And he [E] keeps it
[E7sus4] [E7] out of
[A] sight. [E7]
When the [A] shark
bites, [A6] with his
[Bm] teeth dear,
[Bm7]
Scarlet [E] billows,
[E7] start to [A]
spread.
Fancy [F#m] gloves
though, [F#m7] wears
old Mack [Bm] Heath
dear, [Bm7]
So there's [E]

a trace of [A] red.
[E7]
Sunday [A] morning,
[A6] on the [Bm]

Lies A [E] body,
[E7] oozing [A]
life.
And some one's [F#m]
creeping, [F#m7]
around the [Bm]
corner, [Bm7]
Could that [E]
someone [E7sus4]
[E7] be Mack the [A]
knife? [E7]
From a tug [A] boat,
[A6] on the [Bm]
river, [Bm7]
A ce- [E] ment
bag's, [E7] dropping
[A] down.
The ce- [F#m] ment's
just, [F#m7] for the
[Bm] weight dear,
[Bm7]
Five 'll get you [E]
ten, [E7sus4] [E7]
old Mackys' back in
[A] town. [E7]
Louis [A] Miller,
[A6] disap- [Bm]
peared dear,
[Bm7]
After [E] drawing,
[E7] all his [A]

And old Mack [F#m]
Heath spends, [F#m7]
like a [Bm] sailor.
[Bm7]
Did our [E] boy
[E7sus4] [E7] do
something [A] rash?
[E7]
Suky [A] Tawdry,
[A6] Jenny [Bm]
Diver, [Bm7]
Look out Miss [E]
Lotte Lenya, [E7]
and old [A] Lucy
Brown.
