Comal County Blue Tab

by Jason Boland


The Bm4 is a B on the fourth fret instead of the second.  dunno if bm4 is a real chord or not.

Intro: 


I guess it finally rained,

it's down to 85.

I'll bet the fish are bitin',
                
Down by the riverside.



It's the only place made colder

Around here in the middle of June

By the endless string of strangers
                     
Brought by the summer moon.


My brother moved off to Houston

And most my friends stay gone.

I need to pay my taxes,
                      
I don't like to mow my lawn.



I have an honest habbit

Of bein' fine wherever I am,

But the way this water's risin'
                          
I need to get up above the dam.


Tonight I'm rollin' up north
                       Bm4
Back to where I paid the due,

Tonight the answer's Austin
                     
For the Comal County Blue.

Interlude:
, 


There's one roll in my ashtray,

I'm takin' Hunter Road

Out by Riley's Tavern
                        
Where my liquor loved to flow.


We'll skip around San Marcos,

Then Stop and tell Doug hello.

Second gear up congress,
                          
You know I like to take it slow.


Tonight I'm rollin' up north
                       Bm4
Back to where I paid the due,

Tonight the answer's Austin
                     
For the Comal County Blue.

Solo:
   Bm4  


The one right beside me

Helped me make it throught that town.

We moved out to the country,
                        
Then we bought a wedding gown


But we still know our ways,

We learned those lessons well.

Back around the turn of the century,
                        
From a one room roadside cell.


Yeah, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
                       Bm4
Back to where I paid the due,

Tonight the answer's Austin
                     
For the Comal County Blue.


Oh, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
                       Bm4
Back to where I paid the due,

Sometimes the only answer's Austin
                     
For the Comal County Blue.
