Verse 1:

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

Chorus:
D MajorD
Showed me the papers
   G+G        D MajorD
As he walked me to the car
FF
His shoes
    C majorC
Finest leather
D MajorD
He said
          Bb majorBb
You could wear this style
             G+G A augmentedA
If you follow my advice

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

Chorus:
      FF
What's that for
 D MajorD    G+G
I asked my man
   D MajorD
With eyes wide opened
      FF      D MajorD
And the knowledge in my head
       D MajorD
And he said, Opportunity
Bb majorBb          G+G
World wide adventure
       D MajorD
Money in the bank

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

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

In the shape

Of an old friend
