[Verse]
  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.

[Verse]
   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 a harmless habit,
         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.

[Chorus]
  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

[Verse]
        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.

[Chorus]
  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

[Verse]
    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.

[Chorus]
        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.
