Dm
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
