(Intro: D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 ) 
 
           C5          G5                       D5            G5 
  And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" 
     D5                   A5                    G5                  A5 
  So I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask him why 
 B5                        B5                   E5 (?)             G5 (?) 
  He said "You look like a fine, upstanding young man, I think you'll do" 
        D5                          A5                G5               A5 
  So I took off my hat and said "Imagine that! Heh, me workin' for you!" 
           D5        C5             G5 
    Whoa, sign sign everywhere a sign 
      D5                          G5 
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind 
    D5                  A5                        C5     D5 (+ intro suspensions) 
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign? 
           C5                 G5                D5                      G5 
  And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot out of sight 
         D5                         A5 
  So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house 
       G5                    A5 
  "Hey, what gives you the right? 
 
  You put up a fence to keep me out but to keep Mother Nature in, 
 
  If God was here he'd tell you to your face, "Man you're some kind of sinner!" 
 

           D5             C5          G5             A5 
  Now hey there mister can't you read? 
       G5                      D5 
  You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat 
                            A5 
  You can't even watch, no you can't even 
   
 
G5                    D5 
  You ain't supposed to be here........ 
   C5             G5                        D5             G5 
  Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh! 
 
(instrumental) (then slow) 
 

           C5          G5                      D5                   G5 
  And the sign said "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray" 
                  D5                               A5 
  But when they passed around the plate and they emptied it all 
     G5                      A5 
  I didn't have a penny to pay 
       B5                 B5          E5                   G5 
  So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little sign 
            D5                  A5                      G5               A5 
  I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' about me, I'm alive and doin' fine!" 
          D5             C5          G5 
  Signs, signs, everywhere signs 
  D5                       C5      G5 
  Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind 
  A5                 G5 
  Do this, don't do that 
                   C5 
  Can't you read the signs
        D5             C5          G5 
 Signs, signs, everywhere signs 
 D5                       C5      G5 
 Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind 
 D5                A5                               
 Do this, don't do that 
                   C5 
 Can't you read the signs
