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