Opportunity 

Came to my door 

When I was down 
             Bb 
On my luck 
            Dm 
In the shape 
              Bb 
Of an old friend 
             G7/9 
With a plan 
           Dm 
Guaranteed 


Showed me the papers 

As he walked me to the car 

His shoes 
           Bb 
Finest leather 

He said 
Dm 
You could wear this style 
Bb 
Follow my advice 

Dm 
He owned a gun 
Bb 
The calibre escaped me 
         A7 
But I noticed 

Straight away 
                         Dm 
It made me itch 

Carried an address 
Bb 
With numbers on the back 
             G7/9 
And an L-shaped 
            Dm 
Bar of iron 

(F G) 

Dm 
What's that for 

(F G) 

Dm 
I asked my man 

(F G) 

Dm 
With eyes 

Wide opened 

(F G) 

Dm 
And the knowledge in my head 

(F G) 

Dm 
And he said 
Dm 
Opportunity 
Bb 
World wide adventure 
G7/9                       Dm 
Money in the bank 

We did the job 
       Bb 
The work was so well done 
G7/9 
No one saw us coming 
                  Dm 
Much less leave 

But what I dropped 
Bb 
Carried my credentials 
           G7/9 
And a black and white 
                            Dm 
Shot of you and me 

(F G) 

Dm 
What's that for 

(F G) 

Dm 
I asked my man 

(F G) 

Dm 
With eyes 
Wide opened 

(F G) 

Dm 
And the knowledge in my head 

(F G) 

Dm 
And he said 
Dm 
Opportunity 
Bb 
World wide adventure 
G7/9       Dm 
Money in the bank
