Verse:
[G]Travelin round the Lone Star state you sure can have a [A]ball,
[D]Stayin out way too late. Feels like we've s[G]een it all,[D]
[G]From Corpus up to Amarillo everybody's heard th[A]e news,
[D]Watch out San Antonio can give you the north side blues.[G]
Verse:
[G]All the nights and miles and memories they feel like one big dre[A]am,
[D]And you just don't know what to expect when things ain't what they[G] seem,[D]
[G]Just when you think that you're ahead and you finally paid your dues,[A]
[D]Then you wake up the next morning with a case of the north side blues [G]
Chorus:
[C]San Antone! San An[C]tone!,
[G]Why don't you leave me alone,
[G]You know I've always loved ya,[A]
[D]You make me feel at home
[G]But you took all those things from me now
Some thing[A]s I hate to lose,
Every tim[D]e I go back to you now,
[D]You give me the north side blues,[G]
Solo:
Verse:
[G]Well we grooved on to El Paso way and across to Austin too,[A]
[D]And travelin down the river walk is a real fun thing [G]to do,[D]
[G]But be careful not to lose yourself and listen to my cl[A]ues,
[D]Or you'll wind up just like me. Singin thE north side blues,[G]
Repeat Chorus:
