[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

A monumental Romanesque revival in Texas
C C G
Granite, Limestone, and Slate all in a 19th century reveal
[Verse 1]

Now Texas has lots of county courthouses

Always located in the Center of Town

But Not on the Plaza in German New Braunfels

That special space reserved for town meetings
[Verse 2]

Started in 1895 Finished in 1899

She makes a statement of safety, justice, and strength

Justice and history preserved inside her stonecraft walls

Two-Story Courtrooms grace her lofty bell tower
[Verse 3]

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

Built for just 36 grand over a century years ago
[Verse 4]
D Am
Restored to her original splendor in 2013

She stands tall boldly powerfully anchoring downtown

Still used, she’s a living a tribute to our German forefathers

Building a town out of things that last
[Verse 5]

My favorite memory of her was Tuesday 9/11
C Em G
A dark day our streets were empty that night

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]
