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

And the sCign said "LGong-haired freaky peopleD need not appGly"

So DI tucked my hair up Aunder my hat, and I wGent in to ask him wAhy

Bm He said "You look like a Bm/Afine, upstanding young Emman, I think you'llG6/A do"

So I tDook off my hat and said "ImAagine that! Heh, Gme workin' for yAou!"

Whoa, sDign sign Ceverywhere a sGign

BlDockin' out the scenery, breGakin' my mind

DDo this, don't do tAhat, can't you read the sC/Gign? D

And the sCign said anybody cGaught trespassin'D would be shot out of sGight

So I juDmped on the fence and I yeAlled at the house

"Hey,G what gives you the rAight?

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)

(instrumental) (then slow)

And the sCign said "EGverybody welcome, come Din, kneel down and pGray"

But when they paDssed around the plate and they eAmptied it all

I dGidn't have a penny to pAay

So I Bmgot me a pen and a Bm/Apaper, and I mEmade up my own little G6/Asign

I said "ThDank you Lord for thAinkin' about me, I'm alGive and doin' fiAne!"

Covered by Tesla on their Five Man Acoustical Jam album...

uncreditted I might add...

From memory, C/F/G I think, insert choruses as applicable:

And the sign said

anyone caught trespassin will be shot on site

so I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house

HEY! What gives you the right?

To put up a fence to shut me out

or to shut mother nature in

If god was here he'd tell it to your face

Man, your some kind of sinner!

And the sign said

long haired freaky people need not apply.

So I tucked up my hair under my hat

and I went in to ask him why!

He said you look like a fine outstanding young man

I think you do.

So I took off my hat and said imagine that!

HAH! Me! Working for you!

Signs sign, every signs

Blocking out the scenery

Breaking my mind

Do this-do that

Don't do that!

Cant you read the signs... (not sure about that line)

Now see here mister cantcha read?

Ya got to have shirt and tie to get a seat!

You can't even watch no you can't eat.

You ain't supposed to be hear!

And the sign said everyone welcome

come in, kneel now and pray

But when they passed round the plate at the end of it all

I didn't have a penny to pay!

So I got me a pen and paper

And I made up my own little sign

It says thank you lord for thinkin bout me

I'm alive and doin fine.
