INTRO:  A   D   A  A/G  A/F#  A/F  A/E

A
Well I woke up this morning, the place was such a wreck

I couldn't reach the bathroom, thought I'd better clear the deck

D
I tried to call the lawyer and asked him what to do

A
He referred me to his doctor, who referred me back to you

E                                    A             D
And when you checked the manual you kept in side the case

D       A       A/G  A/F# A/F A/E
It said 'put it in a cool dry place'

A
I drove around the city, looking for a room

That was high above the water, where my things could be in tune

D
There was no one to help me, nobody even cared

A
I had to go through hell to get those things up there

E                             A                      D
I paid my first subscription, then I joined the idle race

D               A       A/G  A/F# A/F A/E
and they said 'store it in a cool dry place'

D
I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums

A
Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum

D
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score

E                           A                     D
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor

A
Some places they get mildew and others get too hot

Some places are so damp that everything you got just rots

D
All kinds of condensation, a direct result of rains

A
There's not much compensation when everything's been stained

E                                A         D
Some have sentimental value that cannot be erased

D   A       A/G  A/F# A/F A/E
Go store it in a cool dry place


SOLO (Sorry, but I don't have the solo, just play the chords used in the verse)


D
We got solids and acoustics and some from plywood board

A
And some are trimmed in leather and some are made with gourds

D
There's organs and trombones, and reverbs we can use

E                 A            D
Lots of dx-7s and old athletic shoes

A
I bought a great big building that took up one whole block

I made an inventory of all the things in stock

D
The place was getting longer I was up all night

A
I used up all my pencils, but I went on despite

E                              A             D
The blurring of my vision, the sweat upon my face

E                                  A               D
I've got to put this stuff away, I mustn't leave a trace

E                                         A           D
The landlord's breathing down my neck, he says it's a disgrace

D          A      A/G  A/F#  A/F  A/E     A7
So I said 'put it in a cool, dry, place.'



     That's basically it for the song. Have fun with it. From, Ryan D. Kemp
