This is a greatly simplified arrangement for novices. The actual song has a half-step up key change at the
start of the second and third verses (A Kenny Rogers trademark!). This arrangement simplifies the chords and
eliminates the key changes to make the song more approachable to newer players. Feel free to capo it anywhere
to suit your singing voice.
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, oh
yeah...
What condition
my condition
was in...
[Verse 1]
I woke up this
morning with
the sundown sh
ining in.
I found my min
d in a brown p
aper bag but t
hen,
I tripped on a
cloud and fel
l eight miles
high,
I tore my mind
on a jagged s
ky.
I just dropped
in to see wha
t condition my
condition was
in.
[Verse 2]
I pushed my so
ul in a deep d
ark hole and t
hen I followed
it in.
I watched myse
lf crawling ou
t while I was
crawling in.
I got up so ti
ght I couldn't
unwind,
I saw so much
that I broke m
y mind.
I just dropped
in to see wha
t condition my
condition was
in.
[Verse 3]
Someone painte
d 'April Fool'
in big black
letters on a d
ead end sign.
I've had my fo
ot on the gas
since I went o
ff the road an
d blew out my
mind.
Eight miles ou
t of Memphis a
nd I got no sp
are,
Eight miles st
raight up down
town somewhere
.
I just dropped
in to see wha
t condition my
condition was
in.
I just dropped
in to see wha
t condition my
condition was
in.
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, oh
