[Intro]

[Verse]
     A   
When I woke up this morning the place was such a wreck
  A   
I couldn’t reach the bathroom thought I'd better clear the deck
  D   
I tried to call the lawyer and ask him what to do
     A   
He referred me to his doctor who referred me back to you
    E                               D   
And when you checked the manual you kept inside the case
        A      A/G  A/F# A/F E      E7
It said put it in a cool dry place


[Verse]
  A   
I drove around the city looking for a room
          A   
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                                 D   
I paid my first subscription then I joined the idle race
              A        A/G  A/F# A/F E      E7
And they said store it in a cool dry place


[Middle 8]
      D   
I got guitars, basses, amplifiers and drums
 A   
Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum
  D   
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score
    F                              E   
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor


[Verse]
     A   
Some places they get mildew and others get too hot.
     A   
Some places are so damp that everything you got just rots
    D   
All kinds of condensation, direct result of rain
        A   
There's not much compensation when everything’s been stained
          E                      D   
Some have sentimental value that cannot be erased
   A        A/G  A/F# A/F E      E7
Go store it in a cool dry place

[Middle 8]
       D   
We got solids and acoustics and some with flowered boards
    A   
And some are trimmed in leather and some are made with gourds
        D   
There's organs and trombones and reverbs we can use
F                 E   
Lots of DX-7s and old athletic shoes


[Verse] (+ coda)
     A   
I bought a great big building, it took up one whole block
     A   
I made an inventory of all the things in stock
    D   
The list was getting longer, I was up all night 
     A   
I used up all my pencils but I went in spite
    E                               D   
The blurry of my vision, the sweat upon my face
    E                              D   
I’ve got to put this stuff away, I mustn’t leave a trace
    E                                     D   
The landlord’s breathing down my neck, he says it's a disgrace
                               (break)
          A      A/G  A/F#  A/F  E         Amaj9
So I said put it in a cool, dry, place
