Mack the knife - Bobby Darin

Oh, the shark babe has such  teeth  dear,
       E           E7     A       
And he shows them, pearly white.
       F#m         F#m7         Bm          Bm7
Just a jack knife, has old Mack Heath babe,
       E        E7sus4        E7     A      E7
And he keeps it               out of sight.

                   A            A6       Bm          Bm7
You know when the shark bites, with his teeth dear,
        E        E7       A        
Scarlet billows, start to spread.

Fancy gloves though, wears old Mack Heath babe,
           E      E7sus4        E7         A    E7    F
So there's never,               a trace of red.
