Verse 1:

    Em                 Am              Em
    There's a man who leads a life of danger
        Em                            B7
    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

    Beware of pretty faces that you find
        Em                         B7
    A pretty face can hide an evil mind
           Em                       Am
    Ah, be carefull what you say, you'll give yourself away
    Em                 Am              Em
    Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

[Chorus]


Verse 3:
    Em              Am              Em
    Swinging on the Riviera one day
             Em                          B7
    And then laying in the Bomb-bay a-la next day
                Em                       Am
    Ah know you let the wrong word slip, while kissing persuasive lips
    Em                     Am              Em
    The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

[Chorus]

    Em
    Secret a-a-a agent man.

			  Secret Agent Man
                            by (?) (Johnny Rivers?)


                  Em               Am              Em
		There's a man who lives a life of danger

                                                  B7
		To everyone he mees, he stays a stranger

                      Em
		With every move he makes

                  Am
		Another chance he takes

                 Em                Am            Em
		Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

                                  B7     Em        B7      Em
		  Chorus:   Secret agent man, secret agent man

			             Am
			    They've given you a number

                                      B7         Em
			    And taken 'way your name


                Beware of pretty faces that you find

		A pretty face can hide an evil mind

		Don't let the wrong word slip

		While kissing persuasive lips

		Or odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

		   Chorus:

                Swinging on the Riviera one day

		Lying on some balmy island next day

		Be careful what you say

		Or you'll give yourself away

		Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

		   Chorus:
