This is from memory (and by ear) (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 Bm/A Em (?) G6/A (?) 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 out of 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 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! (instrumental) (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 and they emptied it all G A I didn't have a penny to pay Bm Bm/A Em G6/A 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!"
