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
