Verse: 
G                                   A      
Travelin round the Lone Star state you sure can have a ball, 
D                             G                D 
Stayin out way too late. Feels like we've seen it all, 
G                          A  
From Corpus up to Amarillo everybody's heard the news, 
D                                           G 
Watch out San Antonio can give you the north side blues. 
 
Verse: 
G                                        A            
All the nights and miles and memories they feel like one big                                                                                         G                    D   
And you just don't know what to expect when things ain't what they seem, 
G                                           A            
Just when you think that you're ahead and you finally paid your dues, 
D                                                      G 
Then you wake up the next morning with a case of the north side blues   

C                 C 
San Antone! San Antone!, 
G 
Why don't you leave me alone, 
G                    A      
You know I've always loved ya, 
D  
You make me feel at home 
G   
But you took all those things from me now 
      A 
Some things I hate to lose, 
      D 
Every time I go back to you now, 
D                        G 
You give me the north side blues,

Verse: 
G                                      A          
Well we grooved on to El Paso way and across to Austin too, 
D                                       G      D 
And travelin down the river walk is a real fun thing to do, 
G                                    A  
But be careful not to lose yourself and listen to my clues, 
D                                              G 
Or you'll wind up just like me. Singin the north side blues, 
 
Repeat Chorus:
