The Day Finger Pickers Took over the World

The Day Finger Pickers Took Over The World(Album Version) - Chet Atkins
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 the 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
Without even known that he was shown 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 vibrate with sweet tonality
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 known that
he was shown the way
And finger pickers took over the world
Like this
Aah let me pick it with ya
Over you Chet
yea
yea
that's how it happened that wonderful day
With just a thumb and two fingers
he started to play
Without even known that
he was shown the way
