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]
C6Dm Oh the shark bites with his teeth dear, G7C And he shows them, pearly white. Am7Dm Just a jack-knife has old Mack Heath babe, G7C And he keeps it outta sight.
