Chords for Jason Boland "Comal County Blue"

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Welcome back y'all.
You know our next artist Jason Bolan is a talented songwriter in the same tradition as some of his counterparts from the Stillwater, Oklahoma [C] music scene like Bob Childers and Jimmy LaFave.
_ With his band The [G] Stragglers he covers all the bases, life, love, drinking, even social issues.
You know he recently sat down to discuss the [A#] songwriting process with us.
[C] As far as the songwriting goes, it'll just be wherever I'm at.
Because [G] that's what you write about, or that's what I do.
What [C] you see, what you experience.
Sometimes you go back and grab old things.
Sometimes you'll see [A#] an [C] instance in somebody else's life that reminds you of an old thing and you think, oh I had that happen to me.
I could dig that emotion up [E] again.
You know it doesn't have to be totally current, but you dream about playing music and this and you dream about doing this.
Half the time you're still just wandering [A] around doing this going, [E] what's going on?
What?
I [A] _ don't know.
Keep trying to write [D] songs I guess.
_ Everybody's faking it.
[E] Or I am.
I'll say I am.
I'm faking it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I guess it finally rained.
_ [B] It's down to 85. _ _
_ [A] I bet the fish are biting _
[E] down by the [B] riverside. _
[E] But it's the only place made colder _ [B] around here in the middle of June. _
By [A] the endless string of strangers [B] brought by the summer [E] moon. _ _
_ _ _ My brother moved off to Houston [B] and most of my friends stay gone.
_ [C#] _ [A] I need to pay my taxes.
_ [E] I don't like to mow my [B]
lawn.
_ [E] I have a harmless habit [B] of being fine wherever I am.
[E] But [A] the way this water's rising I [B] need to get up above the [E] dam.
_ _ _ _ _ _ So [A] tonight I'm rolling up north [E] back to where I pay [C#m] the due. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Tonight the answer's Austin for the Comal _ [E] County Blue.
_ _ _ _ Comal County Blue, [B] it was _ written down in Comal [E] County about [B] _
just [E] a specific day of driving around.
When I first wrote it, it was one of those unassuming songs that you just think you're describing a day and it's got a nice [B] vibe to it.
It feels good.
And [C#]
the more when people would [Am] hear it, it would _ [E] really paint a picture for them.
And more and more folks started to respond to that tune and the guys in the band liked it.
And next thing we know it's the title cut of the [B] record, which is strange because the song didn't start out like that.
It started [A] out _ _ _ about as calm [Em] and feeling and [B] unremarkable of a [E] song as I've ever done.
It was a [Bm] sneak up on you song.
So [A] tonight I'm rolling up north [E] back to where I pay [C#m] the due. _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Tonight the answer's Austin for the Comal [E] County Blue. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The one right beside me [B] helped me make it through that town.
_ _ [A] We moved out to the country, [E] then we bought a wedding [B] gown.
_ [E] _ But we still know our ways, _ [B] we've learned those lessons well.
_ _ [A] Back around the turn of the century _ [B] from a one room roadside [E]
cell.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Tonight [A] I'm rolling up north [E] back to where I pay [C#m] the due. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Tonight the answer's Austin _ for the Comal [E] County Blue.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
Tonight I'm rolling up north [E] back to where I pay [C#m] the due. _ _ _
_ _ [B] Sometimes the only answer's Austin _ for the Comal [E] County Blue.
