Just Dropped In
by Kenny Rogers


[Notes: the guitars are so distorted it's hard to tell, but the chord
 notated as Am7Am7 might actually be A7#9A7#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 BB minor pentatonic scale; end on D MajorD note)

Chorus:

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

Verse 1:

     (DmDm)             G/DG/D        DmDm
    I woke up this morning with the sundown  pouring in
                         Am7Am7 [5x555x]
    I found my mind in a brown paper bag  within
      DmDm              FF
    I tripped on a cloud and fell a-eight miles high
     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
    I tore my mind on a jagged sky
      DmDm         Am7Am7           DmDm
    I just dropped in  to see what condition my condition was in

      EbmEbm         Ab/Eb           EbmEbm
    I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
                       BbM7Bbm7
    I found myself crawlin' out as I was crawlin' in
       EbmEbm       GbGb
