Just Dropped In

[Notes: the guitars are so distorted
 it's hard to tell, but the chord
 notated as Am7 might actually be 
A7#9 (54555x) - try both and see
 which you think sounds more like 
the record.  The bass is definitely
 tuned below concert pitch (see the 
second break), and I suspect that
 the distorted rhythm guitar is as 
well - try tuning to DGCFAD and
 playing in Em/Fm/F#m.  -- AWR]

Intro:

        (backwards guitar over B 
minor pentatonic scale; end on D 
note)

Chorus:

        Dm [N.C.]
        Yeah   yeah   oh, yeah
                              Dm
        What condition my condition 
was in

Verse 1:

          (Dm)                     
        I woke up this morning with
     G/D               Dm
 the sundown   pouring in
        I found my mind in a brown 
               Am7  [5x555x]
paper bag   within
            Dm                  
        I tripped on a cloud and 
          F
fell a-eight miles high
         Bbmaj7
        I tore my mind  on a jagged 
sky
           Dm                  Am7
        I just dropped in   to see
                      Dm
 what condition my condition was in

           Ebm                 
        I pushed my soul  in a 
Ab/Eb                     Ebm
deep dark hole and then I followed 
it in

        I've had my foot on the gas

my mind
               Em
