Signs

Signs  Five Man Electrical Band.

(Intro: D Dsus2 D D Dsus2 D D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D)

        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! Huh, 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      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?

   Bm                                   G

To put up a fence to keep me out but 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)

Now hey there mister can't you read?

    G                      D

You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can't even watch, no you can't even

G                     D

You ain't supposed to be here........

(no chords)

Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh!

  (instrumental chorus) (then slow)

        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)
