White Rose

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