POP A TOP   Alan Jackson



(sound of a beer can opening)

CHORUS 1

             C       D            (D)   C             G   

Pop a top a-gain 1.)   I just got time for one more round

                 2.)   I think I'll    have another round 

G               C      D

Set 'em up my friend

D                  C           D    C                   G   

Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down



G                    C           D               G

I'd like for you to listen to a joke I heard to-day

G                 C                        D             G 

From a women who said she was through and calmly walked away

G                     C                  D               G 

I tried to smile and did a while But it felt so out of place

G                        C                      D                 G

Did you ever hear of a clown with tear drops streaming down his face



Chorus 1 using 2.), lead, key change

A                D          E                  A   

Home for me is misery and here's I'm wasting time

A                          D                E                A

Cause a row of fools on a row of stools Is not what's on my mind

A                       D           E            A

But then you see her leaving me is not what I prefer

A                            D               E                A

So it's either here, just drinking beer, or home remembering her 

 Go to chorus 2



CHORUS 2

             D   E               (E)    D       A            

Pop a top a-gain    I think I'll have another round 

A               D     E

Set 'em up my friend

E             (E)  D           E               D       A

Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down

             D   E A              

Pop A Top A-gain
