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
