[A]
[Am]
[D]
[Am] And the sign [G] said, long haired freaky [D] people need not [G] apply.
[D] So I tucked my hair [A] up under my hat [G] and I went in to ask [A] him why.
[Bm] He said you look like a fine [B] upstanding [G] young man, I think you do.
[D] So I took off my hat and [A] said imagine that, [G] me working for [A] you.
[D] Sign, sign, [C] everywhere [G] a sign, [D] blocking out your scenery, [G] breaking my mind.
[D] Do this, don't do [A] that, can't you read the [C] sign?
[D]
And [Am] the sign said anybody [G] caught trespassing [D] would be shot on [G] sight.
So [D] I jumped on the fence [A] and yelled at the house, [G] hey, what gives you [A] the right?
[Bm] Put up fence to keep me out [G] or to keep mother nature in.
[D] If God was here [A] he'd tell you to your face, [G] man you're some [A] kind of sinner.
[D] Sign, [C] sign, everywhere [G] a sign, [D] blocking out your scenery, [G] breaking my mind.
[D] Do this, don't do [A] that, can't you read [C] the sign?
[D] [F#] [G]
[G#] [A] Now hey you mister, can't you read?
[G] You've got to have a certain tie [D] to get a seat.
You can't even watch, [A] no you can't eat, [G] you ain't supposed [D] to be here.
[G] Sign said you've got to have a membership card to get inside.
[D] Now I'm [C] home.
[G] [D]
[A] [C]
[D]
[Gm] [Am] And the sign [G] said everybody [D] welcome, come in, kneel [G] down and pray.
[D] But then they passed around the [A] plate at the end of it all.
[G]
[A] [Bm] Got me a pen and a [G] pen, I made up my own little sign.
[D] I said thank you [A] love, thinking about me, I'm a [G]
doing [A] fine.
[D] Sign, [Am] sign, [G] everywhere a sign, [D] blocking out your scenery, [G] breaking my mind.
[D] Do this, don't [A] do that, can't you read the [C] sign?
[D]
[C] Everywhere [G] a sign.
