[Verse 1]
         C          G                       D            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 to ask 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 and said "Imagine that! Heh, me workin' for you!"
       D        C             G
Whoa, sign sign everywhere a sign
  D                          G
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
D                  A                        C/G     D (+ intro suspensions)
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
       C                 G                D                   G
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
       D                         A
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
     G                    A
"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!"

[Chorus]
     A
Now hey there mister can't you read?
     G                      D
You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat
                    A
You can't watch, no you can't eat
 G                    D
You ain't supposed to be here
 C             G                        D             G
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh!

[Instrumental]
(then slow)

[Verse 2]
         C          G                      D                   G
And the sign said "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
                D                             A
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
   G                      A
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
I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' about me, I'm alive and doin' fine!"

[Chorus]
     A
Now hey there mister can't you read?
     G                      D
You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat
                          A
You can't even watch, no you can't even
 G                    D
You ain't supposed to be here
 C             G                        D             G
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh!

[Chorus]
D             C          G
Signs, signs, everywhere signs
D                       C      G
Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind
A                 G
Do this, don't do that
                   C
Can't you read the signs
In the meantime, the chorus goes
D             C          G
Signs, signs, everywhere signs
D                       C      G
Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind
D                A
Do this, don't do that
                  C
Can't you read the signs
