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

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

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

DI tried to call the lawyer and asked him what to do

AHe referred me to his doctor, who referred me back to you

E                                    A             DAnd when you checked the manual you kept in side the case

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

AI drove around the city, looking for a room

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

DThere was no one to help me, nobody even cared

AI had to go through hell to get those things up there

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

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

DI got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums

AAccordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum

DCymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score

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

ASome places they get mildew and others get too hot

Some places are so damp that everything you got just rots

DAll kinds of condensation, a direct result of rains

AThere's not much compensation when everything's been stained

E                                A         DSome have sentimental value that cannot be erased

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


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


DWe got solids and acoustics and some from plywood board

AAnd some are trimmed in leather and some are made with gourds

DThere's organs and trombones, and reverbs we can use

E                 A            DLots of dx-7s and old athletic shoes

AI bought a great big building that took up one whole block

I made an inventory of all the things in stock

DThe place was getting longer I was up all night

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

E                              A             DThe blurring of my vision, the sweat upon my face

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

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

D          A      A/G  A/F#  A/F  A/E     A7So I said 'put it in a cool, dry, place.'



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