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 Em Em\C E
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
Ah, be careful what you say, Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow (Chorus)
(Instrumental) (Chorus)
Swinging on the Riviera one day
And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip, while kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow (Chorus)
* This was the theme song to the TV show “Secret Agent Man” starring Patrick McGoohan.
