Intro Riff x 4
| [Am] There's a man who | [Dm] lives a life of | [Am] danger | [Am]
To | [Am] everyone he | meets, he stays a | [E7] stranger | [E7]
With | [Am] every move he | makes an- | [Dm] other chance he | takes
| [Am] Odds are he won't | [Dm] live to see to- | [Am] morrow | [Am↓]
Chorus
Secret | [Em] agent | [Am] man, secret | [Em] agent | [Am] man
They've | [F] given you a | number and | taken 'way your | [Am] name | [Riff]

Be | [Am] -ware of pretty | [Dm] faces that you | [Am] find | [Am]
A | [Am] pretty face can | hide an evil | [E7] mind | [E7]
Oh, be | [Am] careful what you | say or you'll | [Dm] give yourself a- | way
| [Am] Odds are you won't | [Dm] live to see to- | [Am] morrow | [Am↓]
Chorus

| [Am] Swinging on the | [Dm] Riviera | [Am] one day | [Am]
And then | [Am] layin' in the | Bombay alley | [E7] next day | [E7]

The | [Am] odds are you won't | [Dm] live to see to- | [Am] morrow | [Am↓]
