Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)

There are several versions of this song. The one on Harlequin Melodies (1968) / Sings His Own (1972) is transcribed below. Scroll further down for the stunning acoustic version recorded in 1991 and available on Youtube

Capo on III

(G) (Em)

(Em) I woke up this morning
The (A) sundown was shining (Em) in
I found my broken mind
In a brown paper bag, but (B7) then
(Em) I tripped on a cloud,
I fell eight miles high.
(Am) Tore my mind on a (Adim) jagged sky.
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see
What condition my (Em) condition was in.

I (Em) pushed my soul in a
(A) Deep dark hole and I (Em) followed it in.
I met myself crawling after
As I was (B7) crawling in
Then I woke (Em) up so tight I thought
I'd never unwind
I (Am) Saw too much man it (Adim) broke my mind.
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see what condition
My (Em) condition was in

(Em) (A) (Em) (A) (G)

      Oh Mary had a little lamb
      She had a (A) little lamb
      She had a (Em) little lamb

(Em) (A) (Em)

(Em) Somebody painted 'April Fool'
In big black (A) letters on a dead-end (Em) sign.
I had my foot in the gas
When I left the road and blew out my (B7) mind
(Em) I'm eight miles outta Memphis
And I got no spare
(Am) Eight miles straight up (Adim) downtown somewhere
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see what condition
My (Em) condition was in

I just dropped in to (B7) see
what condition my (Em) condition was in

Yes I just dropped (A) in to (Em) see
what condition my condition was in

I just dropped (A) in to see
what condition my condition was in

Acoustic 1991 version

I've transcribed the A chord as an A5 because I'm pretty sure you don't hear the upper strings, but it's probably an Am.

(Em) (Csus2) (D7) (Em)

(Em) I woke up this morning
The (A5) sundown was shining (Em) in
I found my broken mind
In a brown paper bag, but (B7) then
(Em) I tripped on a cloud,
I fell (G) eight miles high.
(A5) Tore my mind on a (C) jagged sky.
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see
What condition my (Em) condition was in.

I (Em) pushed my soul in a
(A5) Deep dark hole and I (Em) followed it in.
I met myself crawling after
As I was (B7) crawling in
Then I woke (Em) up so tight I thought
I'd (G) never unwind
I (A5) Saw too much man it (C) broke my mind.
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see what condition
My (Em) condition was in

(Em) Somebody painted 'April Fool'
In big black (A5) letters on a dead-end (Em) sign.
I had my foot in the gas
When I left the road and blew out my (B7) mind
(Em) I'm eight miles outta Memphis
And I got (G) no spare
(A5) Eight miles straight up (C) downtown somewhere
I (Em) just dropped in to (B7) see what condition
My (Em) condition was in
