Opportunity - Joan Armatrading
[Verse 1]
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
[Solo]

[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]

Opportunity
F D
Came to my door
F
When I was down
Bb
On my luck
C D
In the shape

Of an old friend
