This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo

6    7    -7  -7  6  7    -7     -7
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
-5  -6  -7    -7   -5 -6  -7
And he shows them pearly white,
 7  -8  -9   8    -8   -7 8     -5
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
 6  -6   8   -5  8  -8  -7
And he keeps it out of sight.

When the shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears Macheath dear
So there’s not a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning 
Lies a body oozing life
Someone’s sneaking round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife

From a tugboat by the river
A cement bag’s dropping down
The cement’s just for the weight dear
Bet you Mackie’s back in town.

Louie Miller disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
And Macheath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver,
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right dear
Now that Mackie’s back in town.
