Intro: D-Bm-F#m-G-D-Bm-F#m-G
DBm
Yea, the whole town came out to watch, the day the paved the parking lot
F#mG
Somebody hung a ribbon up, and then they cut it down
DBm
And that big white rose upon that sign, put innocence in all our lives
F#mG
We could see its neon light from half a mile out
DBm
Gas was .50 cents a gallon, they'd put it in for you
F#mG
they'd bump your tires and check your oil, and wash your windows too
DBm
And we'd shine those cars bright as bright, we'd go park underneath that light
F#mG
Stare out at the prairie sky, there was nothing else to do
Chorus
BmF#m
Now there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
GA
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground
F#m
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
GABm
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now
D
And the girls would spend a couple of bucks
Bm
Just to meet the boys workin' at the pumps
F#mG
And we'd pull up and fall in love and they've all moved away
DBm
Strangers used to stop and ask, how far they've driven off the map
F#mG
And then they built that overpass and now they stay out on the highway
Chorus
BmF#m
'Cause there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
GA
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground
F#m
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
GABm
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now
GD
And that neon sign was the heart and soul of this ol' one horse town
AG
And it's like it lost its will to live, the day they shut it down
Chorus
BmF#m
And now there's plywood for glass, where the windows all got smashed
GA
And there's just a chunk a'concrete, where those old pumps used to stand
Bm
There's a couple a' cars half outta the ground
F#m
And that old sign still spins 'round 'n 'round
GABm
I guess the White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now
GABm
Yea that ol' White Rose fillin' station's just a memory now
