The change was quite subtle and the mood low key

The sky was overcast, you could hardly see

And the creatures all boogied to a different frequency

The day finger pickers took over the world, yea

Yea, It happened one day, way back in the sticks

He picked up his guitar, but he had no pick

So with just a thumb and two fingers, he made up some licks

And finger pickers took over the world

So, that's how it happened that wonderful day

With just a thumb and two fingers, he started to play, yea

Without even knowin, he was showin the way

And finger pickers took over this world

Yes they did

I'll play a little harmony

Oh yes Chet

So stop look and listen, it'll happen, you'll see

You'll wanna join in and play fingerpickingly

And people once laughed at this non-conformity

But finger pickers took over the world



So all the people were finally set free

They all hung out and interacted fretfully

And the air began to viberate with sweet tormality

The day finger pickers took over the world

So that's how it happened that wonderful day

With just a thumb and two fingers, Chet started to play

(Ah, shut up)

Without even knowin, he was showin the way

And finger pickers took over the world

Like this

Aah, let me pick it with ya

Over to you Chet

Yea

Do do do do do do do do

Yea

So, that's how it happened that wonderful day

With just a thumb and two fingers, he started to play, 

Without even knowin, he was showin the way
