D
Opportunity
        F        D
Came to my door
           F
When I was down
      Bb
On my luck
C              D
In the shape
                  Bb
Of an old friend
       G     F
With a plan
      D
Guaranteed

[Chorus]
D
Showed me the papers
      G                D
As he walked me to the car
F
His shoes
       C
Finest leather
D
He said
                    Bb
You could wear this style
                         G A
If you follow my advice

[Verse 2]
D
He owned a gun
    Bb                  A
The calibre escaped me
      A
But I noticed straight away
           D
It made me itch
Carried an address
     Bb
With numbers on the back
       A
And an L-shaped
         D
Bar of iron

[Chorus]
            F
What's that for
  D        G
I asked my man
     D
With eyes wide opened
           F            D
And the knowledge in my head
             D
And he said, Opportunity
Bb                    G
World wide adventure
             D
Money in the bank

[Verse 3]
           D
We did the job
    Bb                     A
The work was so well done
              A
No one saw us coming
          D
Much less leave
           D
But what I dropped
Bb
Carried my credentials
      A
And a black and white
                D
Shot of you and me

[Chorus]
            F
What's that for
D           F
I asked the cop
     D          G
With eyes of innocence
        F
The knowledge in my head
             D
And he said, Opportunity
Bb                    G
World wide adventure
A                D
Let me have your hand
G                D
Let me have your hand

[Outro]
D
Opportunity
        F        D
Came to my door
           F
When I was down
      Bb
On my luck
C              D
In the shape
                  Bb
Of an old friend
       G     F
With a plan
      D
