Comal County Blue
by Jason Boland and the Stragglers

Capo 2

Intro: D MajorD

D MajorD
I guess it finally rained,
A augmentedA
it's down to 85.
G+G
I'll bet the fish are bitin',
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Down by the riverside.

D MajorD
It's the only place made colder
A augmentedA
Around here in the middle of June
G+G
By the endless string of strangers
A augmentedA           D MajorD
Brought by the summer moon.

D MajorD
My brother moved off to Houston
A augmentedA
And most my friends stay gone.
G+G
I need to pay my taxes,
D MajorD           A augmentedA
I don't like to mow my lawn.


D MajorD
I have an honest habbit
A augmentedA
Of bein' fine wherever I am,
G+G
But the way this water's risin'
A augmentedA             D MajorD
I need to get up above the dam.

G+G
Tonight I'm rollin' up north
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Back to where I paid the due,
A augmentedA
Tonight the answer's Austin
           D MajorD
For the Comal County Blue.

Interlude:
A, D MajorD

D MajorD
There's one roll in my ashtray,
A augmentedA
I'm takin' Hunter Road
G+G
Out by Riley's Tavern
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Where my liquor loved to flow.

D MajorD
We'll skip around San Marcos,
A augmentedA
Then Stop and tell Doug hello.
G+G
Second gear up congress,
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
You know I like to take it slow.

G+G
Tonight I'm rollin' up north
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Back to where I paid the due,
A augmentedA
Tonight the answer's Austin
           D MajorD
For the Comal County Blue.

Solo:
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD

D MajorD
The one right beside me
A augmentedA
Helped me make it throught that town.
G+G
We moved out to the country,
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Then we bought a wedding gown

D MajorD
But we still know our ways,
A augmentedA
We learned those lessons well.
G+G
Back around the turn of the century,
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
From a one room roadside cell.

G+G
Yeah, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Back to where I paid the due,
A augmentedA
Tonight the answer's Austin
           D MajorD
For the Comal County Blue.

G+G
Oh, Tonight I'm rollin' up north
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Back to where I paid the due,
A augmentedA
Sometimes the only answer's Austin
           D MajorD
For the Comal County Blue.

Outro:
A augmentedA D MajorD

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!
