Guitar Tab:Working Undercover For The Man

G           Am
  I've been working hard
G/B          C
  Trying to sing and play guitar
G         Am
  Growing out my hair and 
G/B            C
practicing my stare
Am        G/B           C         D  
  Paid to fake it in a traveling band
          C6(9)          D
  And I'm working undercover for the man

G        Am(7)       Bm*        C/E    :|
  Sha la la la la    Sha la la la la la

Planning midnight raids on our unsuspecting fans
While the roadies rig the video surveillance vans
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man

G        Am(7)    Bm*        C/E              
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 
G        Am(7)    Bm*       C/E              
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 

Cm     G/B      C#dim     G/B     Cm     G/B      Am7     D

I've been working hard practicing to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair and working on my stare
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man

G        Am(7)    Bm*    C              
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 
G        Am(7)    Bm*    C              
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 
G        Am(7)    Bm*    C              
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 
G        Am(7)    Bm*    C            G/B       
Sha la la la la   Sha la la la la la 

* = Alternatively, you can play a "Gmaj7/B" chord in place of the Bm for the live versions.

I would like to add that pre-1999 live performances of this song had an alternate chord progression which was as follows:  

G           Am
  I've been working hard
C                 D
  Practicing to sing and play guitar
G         Am
  Growing out my hair and 
C              D
working on my stare
Am        D            C     Em    D  
  Paid to fake it in a traveling band
          C               D
  And we're working undercover for the man

G        Am       C         D              :|
  Sha la la la la    Sha la la la la la
