INTRO

VERSE 1
B7
When I woke up this morning the place was such a wreck
B7
I couldn’t reach the bathroom thought I'd better clear the deck
E7
I tried to call the lawyer and ask him what to do
B7
He referred me to his doctor who referred me back to you
F#7 E7
And when you checked the manual you kept inside the case
B B7 B6 Gaug F#7 F#7
It said put it in a cool dry place
VERSE 2
B7
I drove around the city looking for a room
B7
That was high above the water where my things could be in tune
E7
There was no one to help me nobody even cared
B7
I had to go through hell to get those things up there
F#7 E7
I paid my first subscription then I joined the idle race
B B7 B6 Gaug F#7 F#7
And they said store it in a cool dry place
MIDDLE 8
E7
I got guitars, basses, amplifiers and drums
B7
Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum
E7
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score
G7 F#7
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
VERSE 3
B7
Some places they get mildew and others get too hot.
B7
Some places are so damp that everything you got just rots
E7
All kinds of condensation, direct result of rain
B7
There's not much compensation when everything’s been stained
F#7 E7
Some have sentimental value that cannot be erased
B B7 B6 Gaug F#7 F#7
Go store it in a cool dry place

MIDDLE 8
E7
We got solids and acoustics and some with flowered boards
B7
And some are trimmed in leather and some are made with gourds
E7
There's organs and trombones and reverbs we can use
G7 F#7
Lots of DX-7s and old athletic shoes
VERSE 4 (+ coda)
B7
I bought a great big building, it took up one whole block
B7
I made an inventory of all the things in stock
E7
The list was getting longer, I was up all night
B7
I used up all my pencils but I went in spite
F#7 E7
The blurry of my vision, the sweat upon my face
F#7 E7
I’ve got to put this stuff away, I mustn’t leave a trace
F#7 E7
The landlord’s breathing down my neck, he says it's a disgrace
(break)
B B7 B6 Gaug F#7 Bmaj9
So I said put it in a cool, dry place
