Welcome to the forums! Pictures may help, but sight unseen, installing sheetrock on the top plate which should be exposed, then applying tape and mud, sanding and painting. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...your-post.html

A 1" gap is pretty wide, any idea what caused it? 1" is also kind of thin for a piece of drywall. You might be better off taking some setting compound like durabond and prefilling the gap [doesn't need to be perfect but make sure the durabond is in the void and not hanging out] and then taping it once the filler has dried.
