Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man

hook: Em C A7 C Em C A7 C
--------------------------------------------------
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
--------------------------------------------------
chorus:
      Bm     Em         Bm     Em
secret agent man, secret agent man
        C           B7                         hook
they've given you a number and taken away your name
--------------------------------------------------
beware of pretty faces that you find
a pretty face can hide an evil mind
oh, be careful what you say
or you will give yourself away
odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
--------------------------------------------------

repeat chorus

swinging on the Riviera one day
and then lying in a Bombay alley next day
oh, don't you let the wrong words slip
while kissing persuasive lips
odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
--------------------------------------------------
repeat chorus

Em Em
     Secret agent man!!!

The hook is easy using Em C A7.

|----0-----|-0---0-|--0-----|-0---0-
|----------|-------|--------|-------
|--4---4-5-|---5---|6---6-5-|---5---
|-----------------------------------
