    The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

  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

Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

             Am

    They've given you a number

                                      B7         Em

                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:
