Secret Agent Man
Johnny Rivers 

Em Thing (x3)
                Em                          Am                   Em
                There's a man who leads a life of danger
                     Em                                             B2
                To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
                         Em                                   Am
                With every move he makes, another chance he takes
                Em                          Am               Em
                Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

                                               B2     Em               B2     Em
                                   Secret agent man, secret agent man
                                                 C7                B2                                             Em
                                   They've given you a number and taken away your name
                                                                                                                        Em Thing (x2)

                Beware of pretty faces that you find
                A pretty face can hide an evil mind
                Ah, be careful what you say, you'll give yourself away
                Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

                                   Secret agent man, secret agent man
                                   They've given you a number and taken away your name
                                                    *Solo*  (verse)

                                   Secret agent man, secret agent man
                                   They've given you a number and taken away your name

                Swinging on the Riviera one day
                And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
                Ah, know you let the wrong word slip, while kissing persuasive lips
                The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

                                   Secret agent man, secret agent man
                                   They've given you a number and taken away your name
                                                                                                                       Em Thing (x2)

                                                         Em
                                   Secret agent man...
