[Chorus]
D Am She’s solid all stone and steel standing tall, standing firm C Em G Built to last, she don’t flinch She don’t Burn D Am A monumental Romanesque revival in Texas C C G Granite, Limestone, and Slate all in a 19th century reveal
[Verse 1]
D Am Now Texas has lots of county courthouses C Em G Always located in the Center of Town D Bm/D But Not on the Plaza in German New Braunfels C Cmaj7 Cmaj 7 G That special space reserved for town meetings
[Verse 2]
D Am Started in 1895 Finished in 1899 C Em G She makes a statement of safety, justice, and strength D Am Justice and history preserved inside her stonecraft walls C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G Two-Story Courtrooms grace her lofty bell tower
[Verse 3]
D Am Painted in light pastel colors, she is a delight C Cmaj7 Bm Native limestone with a rusticated facade, Am C G cut-limestone lintels, pink granite columns, all covered by slate roof C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G Built for just 36 grand over a century years ago
[Verse 4]
D Am Restored to her original splendor in 2013 C Em G She stands tall boldly powerfully anchoring downtown D Am Still used, she’s a living a tribute to our German forefathers C Em G Building a town out of things that last
[Verse 5]
D Am My favorite memory of her was Tuesday 9/11 C Em G A dark day our streets were empty that night D Am We did our weekly Boy Scout meeting, just cause C Cmaj7 G We don’t cower to cowards bashing our land
[Verse 6
D Am Driving home Thee she stood standing tall standing firm C Cmaj7 C G All lit up like I used car parking lot D Am Four construction light trailers gracing her corners C Cmaj7 Bm C G A blazing beacon beauty and bravery our flag a waving on top
[Verse 7]
D Am Not many folks out to see that glorious sight C Em G We owe a thanks to our bold leaders Standing firm D Am That forever courthouse not shaken BUT lighting the way C Em G Thank you Judge Scheel for the shining your light
[Outro]
D Am She’s solid all stone and steel standing tall, standing firm C Em G Built to last, she don’t flinch She don’t Burn D Am A monumental Romanesque revival in Texas C C G Granite, Limestone, and Slate all in a 19th century reveal C C Cmaj7 G Gadd11 She’s Our Comal County Courthouse
