Comal County Blue by Jason Boland
Comal County Blue
Capo 2
Intro: D
D
I guess it finally rained,
A
it's down to 85.
G
I'll bet the fish are bitin',
D A
Down by the riverside.
D
It's the only place made colder
A
Around here in the middle of June
G
By the endless string of strangers
A D
Brought by the summer moon.
D
My brother moved off to Houston
A
And most my friends stay gone.
G
I need to pay my taxes,
D A
I don't like to mow my lawn.
D
I have an honest habbit
A
Of bein' fine wherever I am,
G
But the way this water's risin'
A D
I need to get up above the dam.
G
Tonight I'm rollin' up north
D A Bm
Back to where I paid the due,
A
Tonight the answer's Austin
D
For the Comal County Blue.
Interlude:
A, D
D
There's one roll in my ashtray,
A
I'm takin' Hunter Road
G
Out by Riley's Tavern
D A
Where my liquor loved to flow.
D
We'll skip around San Marcos,
A
Then Stop and tell Doug hello.
G
Second gear up congress,
A D
You know I like to take it slow.
G
Tonight I'm rollin' up north
D A Bm
Back to where I paid the due,
A
Tonight the answer's Austin
D
For the Comal County Blue.
Solo:
G D A Bm A D
D
The one right beside me
A
Helped me make it throught that town.
G
We moved out to the country,
D A
Then we bought a wedding gown
D
But we still know our ways,
A
We learned those lessons well.
G
Back around the turn of the century,
A D
From a one room roadside cell.
G
Yeah, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
D A Bm
Back to where I paid the due,
A
Tonight the answer's Austin
D
For the Comal County Blue.
G
Oh, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
D A Bm
Back to where I paid the due,
A
Sometimes the only answer's Austin
D
For the Comal County Blue.
