POP A TOP

----Alan  Jackson

G                C     D                        C                 G
Pop a top again  I've just got time for one more round
                          C        D
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone
           C       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                                      C
And calmly walked away, I tried to smile and did awhile
             D             G                                           C
But it felt so outta place, did you ever hear of a clown with teardrops
D                  G
streaming down his face.

                                          CHORUS
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      D                     C       G
And you can let some other fool sit down.

                     (instrumental)

G                           C              D                G
Home for me its misery and here I'm wasting time
                                        C
Saw a row of fools on a row of stools
     D                          G
It's not what's on my mind
                                      C              D               G
But then you see her leaving me it's not what I prefer
G                                       C                D
G
So it's either here just drinking beer or home remembering her.

                            (repeat chorus)
