D
A man of great ambition
he pushed himself to be
A man upon a mission with
great riches to achieve
G
All his friends admired him,
And every word they trusted
D
and believed.
C
And the odds seemed
G
D
forever in his favor.
He made a sound investment
in his own abilities
Healthy clientele and some
G

committed employees
G
Well regarded in the town,
D
money to be made, and cash be found.

And the odds seem forever in his favor.

Still he thought he had the odds in his favor.
He had to disappoint you, the

The string of repossessions, his

But sitting down upon the curb he felt

a sudden feeling of relief

And he knew the odds were
G
D
far from in his favor.

C
G
And the odds are not forever in your favur!
