The Story Of Jack The Knife chords

He was l[Am]eaning at the c[E7]orner of the [Am]main street[Am]
[Am]Wearing his f[E7]inest silky [Am]suit [Am]
His [Dm]ice-cold eyes were g[Am]lancing a[G]ll over the [Am]crowd [Am]
And [Am]what he thought, my [H7]god, was [E7]not all[Am]owed. [Am]

Later he walked cockly on the pavement
In the trouser pockets very cool his hands
He gave five pounds to the gambler, made fifty in a crack
Didn't see the sticky-finger in his back

[REFRAIN]
The c[C]alled him Jack the K[Dm]nife and he was the t[F]oughest guy in t[C]own
[C] [Dm] [F] [E7] (break)
And if they saw him coming, they wished they were not around

On his beat Jacky visits the next bar-room
The waiter paid, his eyes were full of gloom
Out of the bar Jack recounts his first easy prey
And looked forward to another perfect day

[REFRAIN]

It was nearly one hour after midnight
When he met some sailors spoiling for a fight
They made waves in his district and made Jack see red
But no-one heard the final words he said

[REFRAIN]

Next morning they found him in the park
His ice-cold eyes were broken in the dark
His silky suit had got manky, his knife stuck in his chest
Oh, Jack the Knife went to his final rest.

[REFRAIN]

Ending: [Am] [H7] -[E7] [Am]
