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! Huh, me workin' for you!"
D C G
Whoa, signs, signs everywhere a sign
D C G
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
D A C D (+intro suspensions)
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
C G/B A5 G
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot out on sight
D A
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
G A
"Hey, what gives you the right?
Bm G
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in,
D A G A
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/Solo)
C G/B A5 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
It said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' about me, I'm alive and doin' fine!"
(Chorus)X2
