[Intro]
[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [(x2)]
Well the [C]whole town came out to watch
the [Am]day they paved the parking lot
[Em]Somebody hung a ribbon up
and [F]then they cut it down [F]
And that [C]big white rose upon that sign
put [Am]innocence in all our lives
[Em]We could see its neon lights
[F]half a mile out [F]
Gas was [C]fifty cents a gallon
They [Am]put it in for you
And they'd [Em]pump your tires and check your oil
and [F]wash your windows too [F]
And we'd [C]shine those cars bright as bright
And we'd [Am]go park underneath that light
[Em]Stare out at the prarie sky
There was [F]nothing else to do [F]
[Chorus]
But now there's [Am]plywood for glass
where the [Em]windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chuck of concrete
where those [G]old pumps used to stand
There's a [Am]couple of cars half outta the ground
And that [Em]oil sign still spins 'round and 'round
But [F]I guess the White Rose filling station's just a [G]memory [Am]now
And the [C]girls would spend a couple a bucks
just to [Am]meet the boys workin' at the pumps
And [Em]they'd grow up and fall in love
And [F]they all moved away [F]
[C]Strangers used to stop and ask
how [Am]far they'd driven off the map
And [Em]then they built that overpass
And now they [F]stay out on the highway [F]
[Chorus]
But now there's [Am]plywood for glass
where the [Em]windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chuck of concrete
where those [G]old pumps used to stand
There's a [Am]couple of cars half outta the ground
And that [Em]oil sign still spins 'round and 'round
But [F]I guess the White Rose filling station's just a [G]memory [Am]now
And that [F]neon sign was the heart and soul
of [Am]this old one horse town
And it's [G]like it lost its will to live
the [F]day they shut it down
[Chorus]
But now there's [Am]plywood for glass
where the [Em]windows all got smashed
And there's [F]just a chuck of concrete
where those [G]old pumps used to stand
There's a [Am]couple of cars half outta the ground
And that [Em]oil sign still spins 'round and 'round
But [F]I guess the White Rose filling station's just a [G]memory [Am]now
But [F]I guess the White Rose filling station's just a [G]memory [Am]now
