SIGNS
Five Man Electrical Band
Tabbed by Derrick

This song starts off with a guitar and keyboard instrumental in A before switching to D.
I only tabbed the guitar riff just before it switches to D.

And the [C] sign says [G] long haired freaky people [D] need not [G] apply   
So [D] I tucked my hair [A] under my hat and I [G] went in to ask him [A] why
[Bm] He said you look like a fine outstanding young [G] man, I think you'll do
So I [D] took off my hat and said I-[A] magine that, huh  [G] me working for [A] you
 
Chorus:
[D] Signs, signs, [C] everywhere a [G] sign [D] blockin' up the scenery, [G] breakin my
mind
[D] Do this, don't do [A] that, can't you read the [C] sign? [D](Dsus}
        
And the [C] sign says [G] all trespassers will be [D] shot on [G] sight    
So I [D] jumped the fence and [A] yelled at the house hey, [G] what gives you the [A] right
To [Bm] put up a fence to keep me out or to [G] keep mother nature in
If [D] God were here he'd [A] tell it to your face, [G] man you're some kind of [A]
sinner
 
{Repeat Chorus}

Bridge: 
Now [A] hey there mister can't you read?, 
You [G] gotta have a shirt and [D] tie to get a seat
[D] You can't even watch, no [A] you can't even
[G] You ain't supposed to [D] be here........(pause)
And the [C] sign says you [G] got to have a membership [D] card to get in-[G] side
 
{Solo over chorus progression}  

And the [C] sign said [G] everybody welcome come [D] in, kneel down and [G] pray, 
But then they [D] passed around the plate at the [A] end of it all,    I [G] didn't
have a penny to [A] pay, So I [Bm] got me a pen and paper, and I [G] made out my own
little sign
I said [D] thank you, Lord, for [A] thinkin' 'bout me, I'm [G] alive and doin' [A] fine 
{Repeat Chorus}
