G                     D 
Before I was born, before I was young, 
C                     D 
my whole life was my opposable thumb. 
G                      D 
I floated around with no place to go, 
    C                               D 
I sucked my thumb just waiting to grow. 
C 
Then I was was born and my life begun, 
     D7            N.C. 
just me my mom and my opposable thumb.

The Opposable thumb, opposable thumb, 
   C                          D 
I get things done with my opposable thumb, 
      C                       G 
Ive got a brain stem and a cerebellum 
       D7                N.C. 
but I have more fun with my opposable thumb.

[Verso 2]
 
G                         D 
I started to grow and to figure out life, 
     C                           D 
I learned to walk and talk and read and write. 
G                          D 
I could use a tool like a hammer and wrench, 
      C                  D 
to pound and pull and push and pinch. 
C 
I started writing down everything I had done, 
         D7                  NC 
with the pen I held between my finger and thumb.

   G                     D 
When I get board I can twiddle and fidget, 
       C                       D 
I can thumb a ride with my favorite digit. 
G                          D 
Now we evolved and weve come far, 
  C                          D 
I use my thumb to play this guitar. 
C 
So put your hands together when the day is done and 
  D7                 N.C. 
thank the Lord for your opposable thumb.
