D    C             Bm                                   A                  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 and asked 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, said, imagine that..huh, me, workin' for you.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs, 

D                                                 G
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind.

D                       A                   
Do this, don't do that..

                             C
Can’t you read the signs?

D           C             Bm                          A                                G
And the sign said anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight.

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

          G                         A
“Hey, what gives you the right?”

Bm                                                       G
You put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in.
 
D                                      A                       G                               A
If God were here, He’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kind a sinner.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs, 

D                                                  G
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind.

D                        A                   
Do this, don`t do that..

                              C
Can’t you read the signs?

OH
     A
I said now mister, can’t you read,

         G                                    D
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.

 D                              A                              
You can’t even watch, no, you can’t eat, 

 G                                      D
you ain’t supposed to be here  . . here.

                                                                                            D
And the sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside..unnh!

D           C                    Bm                                   A                    G
And the sign said, everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray.

      D                                               A         
And they passed around a plate at the end of it all,

     G                                   A 
And 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 
It said, thank you Lord for thinkin’ ‘bout me, I’m alive and doing fine.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs, 

D                                                 G
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind.

D                       A                   
Do this, don't do that..

                             C
