Just Dropped In by Kenny Rogers [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) G/D Dm I woke up this morning with the sundown pouring in Am7 [5x555x] I found my mind in a brown paper bag within Dm F I tripped on a cloud and fell a-eight miles high Bbmaj7 I tore my mind on a jagged sky Dm Am7 Dm I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in [repeat chorus] Instrumental break #1: bass (doubled w/vibes; fuzz guitar plays chords where indicated): C Ab Bbm (Ebm) v v v v v v v v v v v v v -5-|---2-----------1-|-----------------|-----------------|--- ---|-------3---3-----|---1-------------|-----------------|--- ---|---------5-------|-------3-1-4---1-|-4---1-4---1-4-5-|-6- ---|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--- (I ...)
