Background vocals:
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Em A Em
I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
Em B7
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
Em G A
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a 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
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Fm Bb7 Fm
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
Fm C7
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
Fm Ab Bb7
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind, I saw so much I broke my mind
Fm C7 Fm
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
F#m B7 F#m
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "dead end" sign
F#m C#7

F#m A B7

F#m C7 F#m
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
Yeah yeah oh-yeah
