Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers Piano - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1861334

The Revised 2025 Edition. This is a revised version of the original 1960s tune for a more modern song form. Instead of the old verse-chorus-repeat, this one runs verse 1-verse 2-chorus-verse 3-chorus-chorus-solo-verse 1-chorus-chorus. The mp3 is actually the original song rebuilt to fit the new form. It's the classic song for a new age.

Step into the thrilling world of 1960s espionage with this dynamic Performance Lead Sheet for the iconic TV theme, "Secret Agent Man." This chart captures the essential, complete form of the song laid out sequentially in the new form from start to finish—no missing sections, no awkward repeats (unless you want to repeat the solo section, kept on a single page)—ensuring a smooth, high-impact performance. It features the full melody, all lyrics, and the driving chord changes that define its cool, spy-jazz sound. Most importantly, it includes the essential melodic cues for the signature surf-rock guitar riff and instrumental breaks, allowing you to nail the song's unmistakable swagger. This is the definitive, action-packed chart for musicians looking to instantly bring retro style and intrigue to their setlist.

What is a “performance lead sheet”? A performance lead sheet streamlines chords, melody, and lyrics into a single continuous layout for tablets, eliminating repeats, D.S.’s, and codas so performers can simply page forward through the entire song. Each section—verse, chorus, bridge, and so on—is clearly labeled with rehearsal markers for quick navigation. The only repeats are self-contained vamps, kept on a single page to avoid page-turning backward. The goal is to make performing easier by presenting the song in its complete, best-known form so musicians can focus on playing rather than remembering forms or tricky sections. I originally created these for my own cover band, and they’ve made last-minute additions far more manageable. I hope they help you, too.
