And the shark has [F#m] pretty teeth, dear, and [B] he shows them [E] pearly white.
Just a jackknife [F#m] has McHeath, dear, and [B] he keeps it out [E] of sight.
When the shark bites with [F#m] his teeth, dear, [B] scarlet billows [E] start to spread.
Fancy gloves, though, wears [F#m] McHeath, dear, so [B] there's not a [E] trace of red on a sidewalk.
[F#m]
Sunday morning, lies [B]
a body once [E] in life.
Someone's sneaking round [F#m] the corner, is that [B]
someone like [E] the name?

[E]
children of [F#m] the darkness, [B] summer children of [E] the sun,
You can't see them, sons [F#m] of daylight, sons [B] of dark are seen [E] by none.
And the shark has pretty [F#m] teeth, dear, and [B] he shows them [E] pearly white.
Just a jackknife has [F#m] McHeath, dear, and he [B] keeps it out of [E] sight.
