Comal County Blue
by Jason Boland and the Stragglers

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.

Outro:
A D

This was my first attempt at tabs to anything...make changes if you want.  I couln't 
lyrics or chords anywhere for this song so I just took matters into my own hands.  I just 
to play this song about my home here in Comal County Texas. (I live about a mile off Hunter Road).
Happy strumming!
