Dm C - G C
1. And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply !"
G D C D
So I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask him why.
Em C
He said ,"You look like a fine, upstanding young man, I think you'll do",
G D C D
so I took off my hat and said "Imagine that ! Heh, me workin' for you !"
G F C
Whoa, sign, sign, everywhere a sign,
G C
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind !
G D F - G
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign ?
Dm C
2. And the sign said anybody caught trespassin'
G C
would be shot on sight,
G D
so I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
- C D
"Hey, what gives you the right ?
Em C
You put up a fence to keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in,
G D
if God was here he'd tell you to your face,
C D
"Man you're some kind of sinner!"
G F C
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign,
G C
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind !
G D F - G
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign ?
D
Now, hey, you, mister can't you read ?
C G
You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
G D
You can't even watch, no, you can't even eat,
C G
you ain't supposed to be he....re.
F C G C
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside. Uh !

G C
G D F - G
Dm C
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome,
G C
come in, kneel down and pray."
G D
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
C D
I didn't have a penny to pay.
Em C
So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little sign,
G D C D
I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' about me, I'm alive and doin' fine !"
G F C
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign,
G C
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind !
G D F - G
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign ?
+ instrumental = CHORUS ….
G F C
