North Side Blues
Words and music by Matt Hillyer and Steve Berg
[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
[Chorus]
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,
[Solo]
[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,
[Chorus]
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,
