 D            C              G                                             D                G

 And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"

        D                               A                              G                              A

 So I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask him why

 Bm                                                                                     G

 He said "You look like a fine, upstanding young man, I think you'll do"

        D                                         A                     G                      A

So I took off my hat and said "Imagine that! me workin' for you!"

 

 Chorus      

  

D               C                    G       D                                        G

Sign sign everywhere a sign  Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

D                          A                                      C                                                     D

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign? Everybody singing sign

 

               C              G                                 D                                G

And the sign said anybody trespassin' would be shot out of sight

         D                                          A

So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house

           G                               A

"Hey, what gives you the right?

Bm                                                                      G

You put up a fence to keep me out but to keep Mother Nature in,

     D                             A                                   G                                       A

If God was here he'd tell you to your face, "Man you're some kind of sinner!"

 

Chorus  

     

      A

  Now hey there mister can't you read?

          G                                   D

  You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat

                                        A                                      G                                         D

  You can't even watch, no you can't even    You ain't supposed to be here.

   C                     G                                           D                   G

  Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh!

 

Chorus

 

           C                    G                                    D                                        G

  And the sign said "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"

                            D                                                        A

  But when they passed around the plate and they emptied it all

     G                                   A

  I didn't have a penny to pay

          Bm                                                           G

  So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little sign

              D                               A                                    G                      A

  I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' about me, I'm alive and doin' fine!"

 

Chorus
