Special Info: For this song you must use an alteration for all C, F, and Am.  For these 

chords you will keep your small (pinky) finger on the 4th fret (3rd with capo 1) on the 

high E string.  The hammer-on that you hear during the intro and throughout the song on the C 

chord is performed with the middle finger.  Also, the transition from F back to C is a basic 

walk-up.  Please e-mail me if you need more detail :-).  I'm not too sure about the chords 

on the 2nd, 4th and 5th lines of the chorus (They are close but you will have to experiment 

to find what sounds best for you).



Capo 1



Intro:C-F x8



Verse 1:

C                  F

Another day is off running

C                   F

and I hear somebody, poundin on my door

C                F

it's opportunity knocking

C                        F

says what I need is just a little bit more.

Am                G

Every time I turn around I'm finding

F                         G

another chance to climb a little higher up.

Am                    G

but it's never what I thought once I get there

F                      G

and I'm left wondering how much is left



Chorus:

C

I can live like a prisoner to all I could be

C(F)                           G  C

I'm living in the land of opportunity

C

but a heart pure and simple is a heart that stays free

C(F)                           G  C

I'm living in the land of opportunity

C(F)                           G  C

I'm living in the land of opportunity



Verse 2:

This is a world full of options

it's like a never-ending buffet line

while all that I'm really needing

is living water and the bread of life.

So as I'm walking through this life making choices

there is one thing I must never forget

this land of opportunity has one God

if I seek Him first, He'll take care of the rest



(Chorus)(Solo)

C-F-C-F etc.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God (x2)

(Chorus)

C-F-C-F etc.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

So many Choices, so much you could lose

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

Living in the land of opportunity

Seek ye first the kingdom of God (x3)
