Verse 1
(Dm) G/D Dm
I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
Am7 (5x555x)
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell a-eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Repeat chorus)

Verse 2
(Key change to Ebm)
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was crawlin' in
I got up so tight, I couldn't unwind
I saw so much, I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Solo

Verse 3
(Key change to Em)
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a dead-end sign
I've had my foot on the gas since I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
