[Verse 1]
DBobbie threw a party when his parDents left town
DHe told a few people who tAold a few people, Bmword got aroundA  G  
It was a legDendary evenin'
The whole pDlace got trashed
It took all day SDunday foAur his buddies and tBmwelve glad bags
They got it Bmall cleaned up, hauled it Aoff in a truck
DBefore his pAarents got Gback
BmWhen they got home he gaAve them a hug
And aDlmost a hAeart atGtack
[Chorus]
'Cause there was oDne beer can
Lying tAhere on the floor
Right bBmehind the sofa
You could sGee it from the door
His dDaddy threw a fit
And BAobby discovered 
There ain't nBmothing in this wAorld to ruin your whole suGmmer
Like one beer cDan
One beer Dcan
[Verse 2]
DBobbie had a car
DHis parents paid for
He'd take it Dout on dates
And drive it oAut to the lake
But he dBmon't anymore
DAll of his friends
Are still gDoing out
Not a cDare in the world
Just thiAnking about girls
And BoBmbby siDttin' hoAme thinking Gabout
[Chorus]
That one bDeer can
Lying tAhere on the floor
Right bBmehind the sofa
You could sGee it from the door
That's aDll it took
You tAalk about a bummer 
There ain't nBmothing in this wAorld can ruin your whole sGummer
Like one beer cDan
One beer Dcan

But that aiAn't the point
It coGuld've been a rubber or a haDlf smoked joint
The haArdest part is it was almost fine
GDrank a hundred beers and cleaned up nGinety-nine
[Outro]
But there was oDne beer can
Lying tAhere on the floor
Right bBmehind the sofa
You could sGee it from the door
His dDaddy had a fit
And BAobby discovered 
There ain't nBmothing in this wAorld to ruin your whole suGmmer

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

D D

Bobbie threw a party when his parents left town

D A Bm A G

He told a few people who told a few people, word got around

It was a legendary evenin'

The whole place got trashed

D A Bm

It took all day Sunday four his buddies and twelve glad bags

Bm A

They got it all cleaned up, hauled it off in a truck

D A G

Before his parents got back

Bm A

When they got home he gave them a hug

D A G

And almost a heart attack

[Chorus]

'Cause there was one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

You could see it from the door

His daddy threw a fit

And Bobby discovered

Bm A G

There ain't nothing in this world to ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can

[Verse 2]

Bobbie had a car

His parents paid for

He'd take it out on dates

And drive it out to the lake

But he don't anymore

All of his friends

Are still going out

Not a care in the world

Just thinking about girls

Bm D A G

And Bobby sittin' home thinking about

[Chorus]

That one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

You could see it from the door

That's all it took

You talk about a bummer

Bm A G

There ain't nothing in this world can ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can

[Solo]

D D D A Bm A D

[Bridge]

It could've been worse

But that ain't the point

G D

It could've been a rubber or a half smoked joint

The hardest part is it was almost fine

G G

Drank a hundred beers and cleaned up ninety-nine

[Outro]

But there was one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

You could see it from the door

His daddy had a fit

And Bobby discovered

Bm A G

There ain't nothing in this world to ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can

[Outro]
