verse 1:  

  Em                            A               Em   
I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in  
  Em                                     B7   
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within  
  Em                          G                   A7  
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high, I tore my mind on a jagged sky  
  Em                 B7                       Em  
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in   
  

verse 2:  
  
  Em                  A                         Em 
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in  
  Em                                     B7  
I watched myself crawling out as I was a crawling in  
      Em            G                   A7  
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind, I saw so much I broke my mind  
  Em                 B7                       Em  
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in   
  

verse 3:  
  
        Em             A                                Em 
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "dead end" sign  
          Em                                         B7  
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind  
      Em                        G                   A7  
Eight miles outta memphis and I got no spare, eight miles straight up downtown somewhere  
   Em                B7                       Em  
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
