G C D C G
Pop a top again Iâve just got time for one more round
G C D C

Set ÎEm up my friend, then Iâll be gone and you can let some other fool sit
down.
G C D G
C
Iâd like for you to listen to a joke I heard today from a woman who said she
was through
D G C
D G
And calmly walked away, I tried to smile and did awhile and it felt so out
of place,
G C D
G
Did you ever hear of a clown with teardrops streaming down his face.
CHORUS
G C D C G
Pop a top again I think Iâll have another round
G C D C D
C G
Set Îem up my friend, then Iâll be gone and you can let some other fool sit
down.
( instrumental segment )
G C D G
C
Home for me its misery and here Iâm wasting time, saw a row of fools on a
row of stools
D G C
D G
Itâs not whatâs on my mind but then you see her leaving me itâs not what I
prefer
C D
G
So itâs either here just drinking beer or home remembering her.
CHORUS - then ãPop a top againä
NOTE: this song was recorded in the late sixties by a previous artist but
donât remember who it was, I think it was Buck Owens. Have fun!
