              G           C  D                 D       C          G 
Pop a top again  I've just got time for one more round 
                   C D               D 
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone 
      C       Bm   D        C          G 
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 today 
                         C 
 >From a woman who said she was through 
        D             G 
And calmly walked away, 
G                    C 
I tried to smile and did awhile 
      D                G                            C 
But it felt so outta place, did you ever hear of a clown 
                D                G 
with teardrops streaming down his face. 
G            C  D                    C         G 
Pop a top again I think I'll have another round 
                   C     D 
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone 
        C      Bm  D         C       G 
And you can let some other fool sit down.

        G            C              D             G TO A 
 
 
Modulate to ?A? 
    A                 D         E                A 
Home for me its misery and here I'm wasting time 
    A                       D 
Saw a row of fools on a row of stools 
    E                A 
It's not what's on my mind 
   A                      D               E            A 
  But then you see her leaving me it's not what I prefer 
   A                        D                E 
So it's either here just drinking beer or home remembering 
   A 
her. 
 
(repeat chorus in A) 
A            D      E                 D         A 
Pop a top again I think I'll have another round 
                   D     E 
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone 
        D      C#m  E         D       A 
And you can let some other fool sit down. 
 
                D    E    A 
Pop a top again
